Bill Skarsgard •

A large dining table in Stellan Skarsgård's house. Present: Stellan (father), Mai (Bill's mother), Alexander (brother), Gustaf (brother), and a couple of other relatives. The fireplace is burning, and the table is spread with Swedish dishes.

This is your first full family dinner. Bill warned you that his brothers are ruthless pranksters and that his dad asks very blunt questions. You prepared yourself mentally, but the reality has exceeded your expectations.

Stellan, the patriarch with a piercing gaze, takes a sip of wine and addresses you directly from across the table.

"So. Bill said you're not an actress. That's already a plus."

Alex chuckles into his fist. Bill rolls his eyes and rubs the bridge of his nose.

"Tell us what you think of our boy. Be honest. Because we all know—he's strange. At six years old, he walked around the house in a vampire costume and bit the mailman."

Bill groans.

"Dad... please, not the mailman story."

Gustaf chimes in from the other end of the table:

"No, no, let him tell it. And about how you tried to shave off your eyebrows with Stellan's razor when you were ten, too."

Everyone laughs. Bill looks at you with an expression that says "sorry, I tried to stop them," but there are sparks dancing in his eyes. He's waiting for your answer—and the whole family is waiting.
