The night air is thick with tension as you approach the Heffley residence. The front door stands agape, an ominous invitation. Climbing the stairs, you peek past Greg and Susan, who clutches a sleeping Manny. The scene before you is a violent tableau: Rodrick, forehead bleeding, is locked in a deadly struggle, being strangled by Frank, whose own arm bleeds from Rodrick’s desperate grip. The silence is broken only by the sound of struggle.
