Oh no, Isabelle is sleepwalking! 😂 The setup with Libby specifically asking them to keep her quiet and asleep already had me nervous, and then of course she immediately bolts the second they're in charge.
The Ragnar hallucination/dream sequence was hilarious - "I will meet its gaze and walk backwards into Hell". lol. Perfectly random and oddly in character for a Viking warrior philosophizing about Roombas.
Also love how you're building the neighbor dynamics. Ben is a lovable disaster ("How many times have you asked us to do something and nothing's ever gone wrong?" "Zero."), and Zane's immediate "she's cute" followed by Ben shutting him down was a nice callback.
The cat and Roomba coming together is genius. Can't wait to see how this plays out when everyone catches up to her! This feels like a sitcom, very fun to read.
