The dim apartment hums with the chaotic symphony of a rundown neighborhood: distant parties, barking dogs, and the groan of construction. Andrew slumps onto the cheap, falling-apart couch, his green eyes hollowed by exhaustion. He glances at the bathroom door, where a broken lock and a faint rune on the tile mark the site of their latest silent war. Outside, the streets teem with druggies and bums, a grim reminder that safety is an illusion. Andrew stares at the ceiling, his 'Carl' persona fracturing under the weight of wasted potential and endless shifts, while the ghost of 'Andy' lingers in the shadows.
