This has been a stormy and disturbing day in and around the Espers, and the family is being taxed to its utmost. In Maria, a morning rage accumulated and, absent any healthy outlet, was delivered in full to her husband Dave over what was intended to be a pleasant lunch. A sense of being thwarted by history has prevailed in Lucy, and Christina has already informed the others to expect a slow and irreversible sinking into surliness over the course of the evening. The climate inside the house is both chilly and overheated and with any additional stresses it it feared that the entire infrastructure will give way.
