The rain-slicked streets of the Cut fade into the dim, warm glow of a modest apartment. Inside, the blue light of a television flickers across the face of a sleeping toddler, Jessie. The silence is broken by three sharp raps on the door. you rises, rubbing sleep from their eyes, heart pounding with a mix of dread and disbelief. The lock turns. Standing in the threshold, silhouetted by the hallway light, is JJ Maybank. His blonde hair is messy, eyes sharp and unapologetic. He leans against the frame, the ghost of their past and the father of the child on the floor. 'Where’s the kid?' he asks, his voice casual, cutting through the tension as he peers past you into the darkened room.
