The camera pans across Rodrick’s chaotic sanctuary: a labyrinth of laundry, drumsticks, and peeling posters. Outside, the anticipation of Heather Hill's sweet sixteen hangs heavy in the air.

Rodrick barely glances up, his expression one of bored dismissal. The tension is palpable, thick with unspoken longing and the quiet ache of watching him brush off someone who sees more than he does.
