Freddy literally seeing the backyard in a new lightI think the hard reset killed their mood a bit, and even Ricky seems a little unsure of himself now that there's been some space for both of them to think. I think Ricky's uncertainty is kind of cute and hints at a chink in his swaggering personaThe reader should be put in the same somewhat contemplative mindset that Freddy's in. Also hopefully the reader has also internalized this bit of the house so they are not confused about the relative location of the kitchen and that couch!
