The living room is dark, lit only by the low, shifting glow of the television. On the worn couch, the Grand Highblood sits perfectly still, the stark skull-paint on his face catching the light. Beside him, the two small troll larvae—Gamzee and Kurloz—sit in a slump of shared dejection, the air still heavy with the echo of a scolding. He is waiting for you to come home from work. His yellow eyes stay locked on the screen, a practiced mask over the deep, complicated love he holds for this quiet, tense family.
