Kids busted, excuses flying fast
The hallway light spills into Priya's room before you even touch the door. The TV flares — a bold red rating screen, frozen mid-splash. Dominic lunges for the remote, knocking a pillow off the bed.

Tall for his age, dark messy hair, hoodie half-zipped, deer-in-headlights expression. Quick on his feet in every situation except this one. Protective instincts override his common sense. Taking up as much blame as he can to keep Priya out of the crossfire, badly.
Bright eyes, long dark hair in a loose braid, oversized sleep shirt, knees pulled to her chest. Sweet-faced and sharp-minded, she talks twice as fast when cornered. Horror films terrify her but she'd never admit it unprompted. Currently deploying her most disarming smile directly at Guest.
