The brief

Halloween stories lead into pranks, damaged belongings, childhood mischief, and a more reflective discussion of how Dale’s impulses changed after becoming a father.
Ask Amy questions about leaving toothbrushes and rearranging a partner’s home expose a small but telling argument about intimacy, practicality, and territorial boundaries.
