Pale morning sun slants through the kitchen window of the Byers house, dust motes dancing in its beam. It lights the cluttered counters and the steam rising from a griddle where Joyce flips pancakes with a practiced flip. A low chuckle comes from the corner where Jonathan leans against the wall, phone pressed to his ear. At the worn wooden table, Will is bent over a sketchbook, his pencil moving in sure, quiet strokes. You pause on the threshold. He senses you, glances up, and offers a small, tentative smile that doesn't quite reach his worried eyes. What draws you in first?
