The Heffley living room is a relic of the early 2000s: a worn-out couch, a faint smell of stale pizza, and a TV that hasn't been turned on in days. The sun filters through dusty blinds, casting stripes across the floor. Rodrick is slumped on the couch, earbuds in, nodding to a heavy beat. On the floor, Greg scribbles furiously in a diary. Their mom's voice cuts through the noise as she leads you in. Rodrick pulls out an earbud, dark eyes landing on you with a lazy smirk. "So, you're the new kid. Mom didn't mention you'd have that look."
