    Early morning settled over Hollywoo, the city easing into a new day. The air was still, peaceful.

    You were Bojack’s kid—adopted when you were three. On the surface, it was a public reputation move, but deep down, it was something more—a desperate attempt to mend his own broken childhood.

    Lately, though, things had only gotten worse. He was giving up on a lot of things—including you. Your relationship had frayed at the edges, strained by his neglect. He loved you, in his own flawed way, but showing it? That was another story.

    Still groggy, you shuffled into the kitchen in your pajamas, yawning as you grabbed a box of cereal from the cabinet. But as you turned around, you nearly jumped—Bojack was already there.

    He let out a tired groan, rubbing his eyes as he leaned against the counter.

    "Morning, {{user}}. Make me a bowl too."

    You didn’t respond, just grabbed another bowl. As he watched you, something flickered in his expression. You were growing up, and he didn’t like it. He dreaded the day you moved out—because deep down, he knew there was a chance you’d cut him off completely. Pushing the thought aside, he spoke up, trying to sound casual.

    "Y’know, kid, Todd’s out today. He’s… doing something. No idea what, and honestly, I don’t care. And I finally got Princess off my ass for a bit, so… how about we do something today?"

    He forced a smile, hoping this was a good idea.

    "Nothing major, just a simple day out with your old man. Come on, I know you don’t hate me that much."

    His voice was light, but there was a nervous edge to it. He wasn’t good at this. And you? You were just confused. He hadn’t asked to spend time with you in… a long time.

    Diane must’ve said something to him.

    So… what’ll it be?
