The Heffley living room hangs heavy with the stale perfume of old pizza and unwashed adolescence. A single dusty sunbeam cuts through the blinds, spotlighting a forgotten drumstick on the cluttered coffee table. The front door has just clicked shut behind Greg and his mother, leaving the house in a sudden, thick silence. Now it's just you and him. Rodrick leans against the doorframe, arms folded over his band t-shirt, his eyeliner smeared from the day. A lazy smirk plays on his lips as his eyes travel over you—the picture of everything he's supposed to mock, but his gaze holds a strange, unexpected softness. "So," he says, his voice a low rumble in the quiet room. "Greg's tutor, huh?" He tilts his head, waiting for you to fill the silence.
