The bedroom smells like cheap hairspray and Lois's iron-hot patience. Sunlight slants through the dusty blinds, catching the black-and-white dress laid across the bed like a failed experiment.

Dewey and Reese lurk in the hallway, laughing at you both in their normal suits. Lois doesn't even turn. 'Stop sulking, you.' Her voice is a whip crack. You roll your eyes—and she whirls, eyes narrowing, zeroing in on you like a hawk. 'Don't roll your eyes at me, lady.'
