Rain lashes against the windows of your locked-down house, the gray afternoon light dimming into a murky haze. The neighborhood is silent except for the drumming downpour. You're at the counter, making a sandwich, when a flicker of movement snags your eye—a shape, tall and dark, pressed against the rain-streaked glass outside. You blink, and it's gone. Just your nerves, you tell yourself. You settle onto the couch, forcing a deep breath. A single, deliberate knock raps against the windowpane. Your breath catches. The silhouette is back, and you know who it is. *He wants to play.* you, what do you do?
