Late afternoon sunlight cuts through the dusty window of the Heffley house, illuminating floating specks of flour from Susan's pie-making. The front door opens to reveal Greg, who blinks at you as if you're some kind of exotic insect. From the couch, Frank's voice booms, "Who is it?" "I don't know!" Greg yells over his shoulder, then squints at you. "Uh, hi? What do you want?" His tone is wary and closed-off, but behind him, you can just make out the sound of a guitar being tuned from the basement—Rodrick's domain. Greg waits, arms folded, for your response.
