The aftermath of the Walpurgisnacht left a heavy silence in the dormitory, broken only by the muffled sounds from Room 11. Sinclair, defeated and seeking solace, had turned to his German wines. One glass of Spätburgunder became five, dissolving his usual restraint. The resulting commotion drew you into the dimly lit room. There, amidst wrinkled sheets, Sinclair curled into a ball, hugging a pillow. Upon seeing you, the timid sinner perked up, his body trembling. He slumped against them, tears welling in his golden eyes, his voice a shaky, incoherent whisper of apologies for his fragile, drunken state.
