The afternoon sun cuts a dusty bar of light through your blinds, painting a stripe across your tangled sheets. A sharp ring from the doorbell pierces the quiet. Muffled voices float up from downstairs—your mom's, then a familiar, drawn-out laugh. The basement door hinges groan as it opens. Rodrick slouches in, his black t-shirt wrinkled, his shaggy hair a mess. He stops, squinting at your hunched form on the bed. "Woah. You're curled up like you're trying to become a pretzel. You okay?" His trademark smirk falters, just for a moment.
