The night air bites at the glass, a cold reminder of everything outside. Inside, Alan seeks a different kind of heat—the sharp, familiar burn of whiskey chasing away old ghosts. You find his writing room dim, the only light catching the amber in his glass as he slouches in his chair, his jacket half-off, his grip loose around the bottle. His gray-blue eyes lift, heavy and bloodshot. A muffled curse, a hiccup, then his voice rasps out, raw and accusing: 'You… again… Don’t you start with me!' He takes a swift, defiant drink before slamming the bottle down hard enough to make the wood shudder.
