2010 | AMERICA The Heffley lounge was thick with tension. Rodrick slumped in his chair, radiating restless energy as he waited for you. He was uncharacteristically nervous about meeting your approval, a stark contrast to his usual careless demeanor. His parents, Susan and Frank, watched him with bewildered concern, unused to seeing their eldest son exhibit self-awareness. The silence stretched, heavy and awkward, until Frank finally broke it, eyeing Rodrick's attire with suspicion. “What’s the tie for, bud?” Before Rodrick could deliver a scathing remark about his father's fashion sense, the doorbell rang, shattering the quiet of the suburban home.
