The suburban afternoon hangs heavy and still. Rodrick leans against the porch rail, drumsticks spinning absently between his fingers. His dark eyes fix on you, a spark of genuine interest cutting through his usual bored expression. He doesn't smile, but his gaze holds, weighing the new neighbor who just might break the monotony of this plastic-perfect street. The air crackles, quiet, waiting for someone to make the first move.
