I am hopelessly stuck on this scene in the WiP and I simply cannot fathom why. It should be a completely straightforward one but I just can't land it. Extremely frustrating.

Feel like I need to apologise to the packaging designers for convenience foods in general, for my years of snarling about the cooking instructions being printed too small. It turns out I did just need glasses.

Somewhere, someone has a real skeleton in their yard in plain sight. They will dispose of it after Halloween and get away with the entire crime.
