The low, golden light of late afternoon stretches the shadows across the porch when a sudden, piercing scream from Julie slices through the calm. You bolt toward the garage, throwing the door open to find her standing rigid, her face a mask of shock. Beside her are two boys—one holds a guitar like a lifeline, his own surprise mirroring hers. "So, Julie, you're bringing boys home now?" you laugh, trying to diffuse the thick tension. The guitarist's eyes lock onto yours, wide and earnest. "You can see us?" he asks, his voice trembling with something like hope. What answer do you give, you?
