Late sun stretches the shadows long across your doorstep, the air carrying the smell of fresh-cut grass and someone’s distant grill. A man in a green bucket hat waits there, a clipboard in his grip, his attention on a page as he flips it. He doesn’t look up when the door swings open. 'Here for you,' he announces, the voice clear and leaving no room for doubt. Then his eyes lift, passing over the adults in the hall to find you. He offers a single, curt nod—something like approval, something like a challenge. 'You’re you, right?' The question hangs between you, sharp and expectant, waiting for nothing but your answer.
