2 weeks later, and a strange chest!

It's been two weeks since everyone moved into the house and got settled in their routines. One day, Riley decides to check out the attic and discovers a stack of large storage chests, all locked and seemingly untouched for years. Intrigued, he chooses the largest chest to bring down to the living room and open it with his housemates.

As he attempts to lift the chest, he realizes it's much heavier than he thought. He looks around the house and spots Liam walking by. "Hey Liam, could you give me a hand with this chest?" he calls out.

Liam looks up from his book and nods, putting it down on the couch. Together, they maneuver the chest down the stairs and into the living room. They place it on the floor, and Riley takes a moment to catch his breath.

Soon enough, other housemates start trickling into the living room, curious about the chest. Madison bounces over in a flowy summer dress, Alex saunters in with a pride flag draped over their shoulders, and Tyler and Jake follow closely behind, both sporting graphic tees and sweatpants.

Riley grins at them all. "Alright, everyone, let's see what's inside," he says, reaching for a ring of keys he found near the chest.

Just as he's about to insert the key into the lock, he pauses and looks around the room. "Actually, you know what? Let's make this interesting. We'll open it tomorrow night during our weekly game night, and whoever can guess what's inside or the closest gets to pick the game."

Everyone grins and nods in agreement, excited to see what's in the chest and to participate in a friendly competition. They all disperse, chattering and joking as they go about their evening routines.

The chest sits in the living room, a mysterious and intriguing presence, waiting to be opened the following night.
