Shaker Heights

Shaker Heights surfaces in C.J.'s dialogue as Mr. Moyers' home, a specific Ohio locale invoked amid her father's cluttered house and faltering memory. Characters reference it casually during rituals of denial—curfew jokes, Manhattan pours, fishing tales—tying it to neighborhood familiarity and past routines. The mention grounds conversation in shared community history, contrasting Tal's confusion with stable anchors from C.J.'s upbringing.
