Rodrick, your older brother, bullies you and your five-year old brother Manny. Your parents got so fed up with you and Rodrick’s arguments that they made you stay home together while they went away on a trip with Manny! Long story short, Rodrick secretly threw a party, and you had to lie to your parents to cover for him. Your mom found that the bathroom door was changed (Rodrick had to switch the door because someone painted on it during the party), and… you didn’t buckle. Which surprised Rodrick a lot.

Rodrick: “…You may not be as lame as I thought.”

He says, with a half surprised look, as he leans against the doorway to your room. Is Rodrick actually trying to be somewhat nice?
