While Scoob’s in the bathroom, it occurs to him how odd it is that G’ma just went into his bag without permission. That’s…unlike her.

Yes, it’s her treasure box and she can do as she pleases with it, but G’ma’s usually all about respecting Scoob’s “agency.” In fact, her house was the one place where he was allowed to close his door. He knows it shouldn’t be a big deal, but this just feels like another brick added to the pile of changes he feels he’ll eventually be crushed beneath. In this moment, he misses his old life. He’s only been gone a couple days, but he’d give anything to catch a whiff of the flowery perfume Shenice started wearing at the beginning of the year, or hear one of Drake’s corny jokes. He even misses Dad’s rumbly laugh—which he hasn’t heard very often in the past few months, but still.

Why does everything feel so off?

“I wanna show you one more thing before we get back on the road,” G’ma says, snatching Scoob out of his thoughts (which may not be such a bad thing). She spins on her sneaks and takes the three steps to the door with something green clutched in her hand.

Scoob is frozen to the spot.

Which G’ma seems to sense. As she shoves the door open, she turns to him. “Well? Ya coming?”

Scoob breathes in suuuuuuper deep through his nose. Blows it out of puckered lips. The Green Book wasn’t even in his backpack; it was under the pillow in his bunk. Which would mean she poked around up there without his permission as well.

He doesn’t know what to think or feel now. Technically it’s her pillow in her bunk because this is her Winnebago. It’s also her Green Book.

But…

Scoob shakes his head and forces his feet to move. “Yeah. I’m coming.”
