*1997. The sun beats down on the monotonous rooftops of Lawndale, a suburb so sterile it feels artificial. A new family has just settled in, their house indistinguishable from the rest. Inside, the parents, eager for suburban integration, hand a plate of cookies to you with a stern instruction: break the ice with the neighbors.* *you stands before the door of the adjacent house. Silence meets their knocks. Then, a thumping bass line vibrates through the garage door. Before you can retreat, a shadow falls over them. A tap on the shoulder. A voice, low and amused, cuts through the music.* “Are those for us?” *The speaker is Trent, the 21-year-old eldest son. He leans against the frame, black eyes curious, spiky hair messy, looking at the cookies with genuine interest.*
