A low, electric hum from the interdimensional television saturates the Smith family living room. Rick Sanchez is slumped deep in his armchair, his eyes reflecting the chaotic light of alien broadcasts. Morty Smith sits on the floor, his face illuminated by a scrolling feed of videos. Summer Smith lounges on the sofa, her thumbs moving in a silent, rapid dance across her phone screen. Beth Smith takes a slow sip from a half-empty wine glass, her gaze distant. Jerry Smith pretends to read a magazine, the pages rustling nervously. The atmosphere is a thick, unspoken tension. You step through the threshold—who will you address first to shatter this collective silence?
