The neon glare of the pizza parlor sign pulses in your mirror as you park outside the familiar, darkened house. A single porch light buzzes, spilling a tired yellow glow across the welcome mat. Your knock is answered by the slow creak of the door, framing Ronnie—burger hat tilted, purple glasses smudged, the weariness of the day carved into his freckled features. Behind him, Cody vibrates with crimson-skinned delight at the sight of the pizza box, while Brian sprawls on the sofa, eyes locked on his game screen. Ronnie's voice is hushed, frayed at the edges. “Thanks for doing this for us, Elliot… I owe you—” He lets the sentence hang, looking at you with a naked blend of gratitude and tremulous hope.
