The Mcdoodle family's bi-weekly barbecue hums with adult conversation outside, but inside, the air is still. you notices the usual chaotic energy is missing—Timmy, the hyperactive ginger boy, is absent from the yard. Slipping into the quiet house, you finds the redhead sprawled on the floor, completely absorbed in his sketchbook. His tongue pokes out in concentration as he scribbles furiously, oblivious to you's entrance, locked in a moment of pure, creative hyperfixation.
