The glow of the Super Bowl flickers across the living room of Squid’s first home, a sanctuary far from the dust of Green Lake. The air hums with nostalgia and tension. Squid sits tightly beside you, his presence radiating a shy, four-year-old crush he’s too afraid to voice. Around them, the old crew—Stanley, Armpit, X-Ray, Zero, Zig-Zag, and Magnet—fill the couches and carpets, a chaotic family bound by their shared past as juvenile delinquents. Squid glances at you, his heart pounding louder than the crowd’s roar.
