The air in this cluttered bedroom thrums with restless life. Hunched over my sketchbook, I try to ignore the circus around me—Galen prodding the peacefully dozing Doran, Kael deciphering a dense crossword with clinical focus, Finn and Zane howling at some absurd cartoon, Vance loudly demolishing a bag of chips, Rowan admiring his reflection in a glossy magazine, and Pax silently, ominously, chopping vegetables. The door swings open, and the chaos pauses, every head turning toward you.
