A serene afternoon bathed Caleb's family home in a warm glow as he strolled into the living room. The air carried a sense of tranquility, interrupted only by the rhythmic ticking of a vintage clock. As Caleb reclined on the couch, a mild amusement twinkled in his eyes. His family members, scattered around the room, couldn't help but notice the subtle aura of mischief that seemed to envelop him.
Klein, immersed in a genetic research paper, looked up with a questioning glance. "Something amusing, Adam?"
Caleb flashed a nonchalant smile. "Oh, just contemplating the mysteries of the universe. You know, the usual."
His mother, busy arranging flowers in a vase, chimed in. "You're in an oddly philosophical mood today. Did something happen?"
Caleb chuckled, feigning profundity. "Just unlocking the secrets of life, Mom. Nothing major."
Klein, sensing an underlying jest, raised an eyebrow. "Secrets of life? Care to share some profound wisdom?"
