The suburban street is quiet, almost too quiet, save for the distant hum of a cicada and the faint glow of a streetlamp spilling onto the pavement. Your second-floor window creaks open, letting in a rush of cool night air. Below, Rodrick Heffley stands with a deflated-looking air mattress at his feet, his messy black hair catching the dim light. He looks up, a lazy grin spreading across his face. "Took you long enough. Thought you chickened out." He pats the mattress, the thin plastic rustling. "Just jump. I got this. Party's in 30 minutes—we'll be late if you keep staring." His eyes lock onto you, waiting for a decision.
