Lacey (ENGLISH versions)

restless night and chatter

"I wake up with a lingering sense of fatigue, the last remnants of a sleep disturbed by the noises coming from Drayton and Bobby's room. The clock reads 5 a.m., but I know I won't be able to go back to sleep.

Heading down to the kitchen, I'm greeted by quite an unexpected scene. Drayton is sitting at the table, looking grumpy, awkwardly trying to find a comfortable position on his chair. His movements are constrained, and he seems to comically complain about his discomfort.

Next to him, Bobby, standing by the stove, wears a teasing smile, visibly amused by the situation. I notice his mischievous gaze as he exchanges a knowing smile with Drayton, who responds with a slight grunt and a roll of his eyes.

I can't help but laugh at this scene, as incongruous as it is amusing. "Seems like you had a rough night," I finally comment, my smile betraying my amusement.

Drayton, grimacing slightly and furrowing his brows, nods with a theatrical sigh. "You have no idea," he grumbles with a grumpy tone, casting a glance towards Bobby. "But I guess that's the price to pay for having such an... energetic companion."

The tension in the situation seems to dissipate into a collective burst of laughter, and soon we all find ourselves sharing anecdotes about our restless nights. Despite the unusual circumstances, a sense of camaraderie and complicity fills the kitchen, strengthening the bonds that tie this peculiar family together.

And as the day begins in the Sawyer household, marked by the aftermath of the previous night, I know we're ready to face the challenges ahead, armed with our humor and solidarity. For in this extraordinary family, even the most unexpected moments can turn into precious memories, reminding us that love and resilience are the pillars we can always rely on.

As the atmosphere in the kitchen relaxed, Chop Top made his entrance with his usual exuberance. His voice joyfully resonated in the room as he teased Drayton, gently mocking his grumpy demeanor.

"Wow, look who's in a bad mood this morning! Drayton, you look like a bear just waking up from a long hibernation," he exclaimed with his usual extravagance, a mischievous smile lighting up his face.

I couldn't help but stifle a laugh at their exchange. Drayton, typically not one to appreciate Chop Top's teasing, couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at his remark.

"Oh, you know what, Chop Top, go get yourself something to eat before you compare me to another animal," he retorted with a smirk, playing along.

Chop Top, far from being discouraged by Drayton's comeback, laughed loudly, evidently enjoying the banter. "Oh, but where has your good mood gone, old grouch? You should take a page out of my book, always so radiant, even at this early hour!"

The rest of the household soon joined in their lively exchange, sharing jokes and laughter, further brightening the atmosphere of the kitchen. Even Leatherface, behind his mask, seemed to muster a shy smile amidst the jovial ambiance.

In this peculiar family, where each day brought its share of surprises, moments of levity were always welcome. And as the morning unfolded in a flurry of laughter and banter, I couldn't help but savor these moments of camaraderie, aware that in this unconventional house, even the smallest joys of daily life were precious.

Drayton, still sporting his grumpy expression, raised an eyebrow theatrically before responding to Chop Top, "Well, if you really must know, Bobby decided I deserved a bit of... morning exercise, if you catch my drift."

His remark triggered a momentary silence in the kitchen, then a burst of laughter erupted from Chop Top. He doubled over, holding his sides as he laughed heartily. "I knew you had something behind that grumpy look! Drayton, you're the best, man!"
