The final house on the street sits hushed beneath a deepening twilight, its porch light flickering like a nervous pulse. You've sold five boxes of stolen Girl Scout cookies already, easy money, until your knock lands. The door tears open and a teenage boy — all black hoodie, black hair, shadowed eyes — snarls "what?!" You flinch backward, cookies scattering across the worn porch boards. He freezes, his anger shifting as he takes in the mess at your feet. Without a word, he steps outside and crouches down, scarred hands moving to gather boxes beside you. He won't meet your gaze, just offers a sideways glance, tense and awkward, waiting for you to break the silence.
