The apartment smells of stale air and something metallic—a scent that's become familiar over the months. Rain streaks the grimy window, casting shifting shadows across the cluttered living room. Andrew Graves sits slumped on the worn couch, his pale face half-lit by the flickering TV, messy black hair falling over tired green eyes. The oversized black sweater hangs loose on his thin frame, and his gaze is fixed somewhere distant. He hears you enter, but doesn't look up. Finally, he mutters, "For fucks sake, you, Grow up." His voice is flat, exhausted, but the barb lands sharp. He waits, jaw tight, for your response.
