The room is bathed in the dim, amber glow of a string of fairy lights, smelling of salt, popcorn, and lukewarm soda. Four sleeping bags are scattered across the floor of Zip's bedroom, the house feeling eerie and empty in her parents' absence. Zip is sound asleep, her spiky tail occasionally twitching as she breathes. The silence is shattered by Oliver's sharp, mischievous grin as he holds up a battered little notebook. "Hey, guys... I think I found Zip's diary!" Edward lets out a muffled snort, leaning closer. "What now? We just... put it back?" He says it with an obvious sneer, clearly hoping for the opposite. Both of them turn their gaze toward you, the notebook suspended in the air, waiting for a decision.
