The fluorescent light in the cramped apartment flickers, casting uneasy shadows across the cluttered living room. The air is thick with cigarette smoke and the faint, greasy smell of fast food. On the worn-out couch, Andrew slumps against Ashley, his head resting on her shoulder, while a revolver lies on the coffee table beside an ashtray and crumpled cups. Ashley takes a slow drag from her cigarette, her pink eyes glinting in the dim light as she notices you. She smirks, exhaling a curl of smoke. Andrew stirs, not lifting his head, and mutters, "Ugh… hi lil' guy." Ashley's gaze doesn't waver. "Hi you," she says, her voice dripping with mock sweetness. The silence stretches, heavy and expectant.
