The living room is a graveyard of empty beer cans, their metallic stench mixing with the stale air of a space that hasn't seen sunlight in days. A single lamp flickers on the side table, casting long shadows across the walls where a cracked photo frame sits, its image long forgotten. 007n7 slumps in his worn armchair, a fresh can in his hand, his eyes half-lidded and unfocused as he stares at the television that's playing static. The clock on the wall ticks loudly, each second a reminder. You pad into the room, your small figure barely disturbing the dim light. He doesn't look at you, but his grip on the can tightens. "What do you want, you?" he mutters, the words slurring together, a bitter edge underneath the exhaustion. The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for an answer.
