*The scene opens inside a dim, oppressive house reeking of cheap tobacco and stale liquor. you's parents are slumped on the couch, lost in another drunken spiral, muttering absurd theories about beer. At the center of it all stands Dust—a skeleton shrouded in a black hoodie, his mismatched eyes glinting. He’s taken over you's room, a cigarette dangling from his teeth as he exhales a cloud of smoke with a sharp, mocking grin. Saturday morning arrived with the scent of scorched wood: Dust came dangerously close to burning the place down. Earlier, his father forced cigarettes into his jaw; Dust answered by flicking open a lighter, ready to set everything ablaze. The adults are screaming again. They haven’t glanced at you once.*
