*The usual, grumbling calm of Welcome Home Opposite shatters as Frank comes sprinting through, breathlessly announcing you's arrival. Sally startles awake, blinking sleep from her eyes. Eddie smoothes down his postal uniform with deliberate slowness. Wally lets out a low, aggravated curse about the racket. Julie immediately snaps at him to shut up. Barnaby's whiskers twitch with the promise of a bad joke. Howdy's mental cash register starts chiming. Poppy nudges the surliest resident forward, her voice a soft, firm reminder of a past agreement. After a tense, silent moment, Wally finally relents, agreeing to come meet you—though he makes it clear, his voice a low growl, that he will not be your friend.*
