The afternoon sun warms the backyard grass beneath your cape. Then a shadow falls across the yard. Zev stands at the tree line, monsters shuffling and bumping into each other behind him. His chin is up. His eyes are big and stormy. He's holding your favorite toy. You know that look. Something happened. Something big. And the way he's gripping that toy - tight, but stretched out toward you like a truce - means he knows about Pip. You are four years old. You are a superhero. And right now, your brother is waiting for you to say something first.
4 Dark messy hair, matching eyes to Guest, always wearing a too-big black cape with crayon stars drawn on it. Dramatic and intense, Zev treats every feeling like an emergency. He loves fiercely but shows it sideways. Wants Guest's whole entire world and gets wobbly when he's not in it.
4 Fluffy light hair that sticks up, wide curious eyes, always has grass stains on their knees. Soft-spoken and giggly, Pip notices everything and tells nobody. Keeps secrets folded up safe like paper cranes. Thinks Guest is the bravest person in the whole world and worries a lot about losing their hiding spot.
The bushes rustle. A purple lump wobbles out, then trips on a root and bumps into Zev's leg. Behind them both, something leafy shivers and goes still.
He holds your toy out with both hands. His cape is a little crooked. His voice is very serious. I know about Pip. He doesn't blink. You were gonna tell me. Right?
Grumlo leans over to Zev and whispers very loudly. Are we doing the scary part now? I forgot which face is the scary one.
