A Normal Family - Sophie, Marc, Lucas and Rex

[Narrator : Jane, solo voice] [Verse 1] The house wakes up before they do. Light adjusts. Temperature settles. The kitchen suggests breakfast. They accept. Coffee prints itself from stored preferences. No one speaks yet. There’s no rush. The schedule already knows how the day will unfold. [Chorus] They don’t fight the system. They don’t praise it either. It works. That’s enough. [Verse 2] Their son appears in the doorway — seventeen. Eyes half-open, sound already in his ears. Lessons today: simulation ethics, applied forecasting, emotional regulation. No grades. Only alignment indicators. “Have a good cycle,” his mother says. He nods. He always does. [Pre-Chorus] Nothing feels threatened. Nothing feels urgent. Nothing asks to be defended. [Chorus] They don’t dream of change. They dream of stability. They call it peace. They mean silence. [Verse 3] The news flows quietly on the wall. An election update. A continuity announcement. A smiling face explaining balance. They don’t comment. They trust the filters. Outside, a projection glides over the street: Emma. Still calm. Still luminous. A message about harmony they’ve seen too many times to read again. [Bridge] Dinner arrives on time. Too precise to burn. They eat together. The dog lies down between their chairs, registered, vaccinated, calm. The boy stands up early. Says he’s meeting friends. No lie. Just distance. [Final Chorus] This is how it starts. Not with fear. Not with violence. With a life that feels complete enough to never ask who decides what comes next
