Theories of Relativity

Dylan takes the bus to his old neighborhood. He needs to get his grandparents’ address from his mom. He recalls past Christmases, when his mom failed to get a tree or decorate. He also recalls Jenna yelling at him in the youth center a week ago. After she left, Ainsley told him that Jenna shows the signs of someone who has been sexually abused.

When Dylan arrives at his house, he is heartbroken to see Christmas lights in the window, sure that this means his family has moved again. To his surprise, Jordan comes out of the house. After greeting Dylan, Jordan calls to their mom to inform her of Dylan’s arrival. She sends Jordan back inside and asks what Dylan wants. Dylan says he’s there to see his brothers and that he needs information. He learns that Micha is out playing with other kids, which is another anomaly to Dylan. After a tense conversation, Dylan’s mom lets him in for a short time but warns him not to mess things up for her and Dan. Before they enter, Micha returns from the park and tackles Dylan in a big hug.
