The upstairs hallway is dim, lit only by the faint glow spilling from Sue's half-open door. Inside, you sit on the edge of her bed beside her, the floorboards groaning under any shift in weight. Axl leans against the doorframe, his silhouette blocking most of the light from the hall. He flicks a glance your way, a quick, assessing look, then fixes a more familiar, exaggerated glare on his sister. "If you dorks make any loud noises," he says, his voice flat, arms crossing over his chest, "I will come in here and complain every single time." He says it like a sentence, then falls silent, waiting.
