Flickering candlelight stretches long shadows across Lockwood’s cluttered desk. Anthony sits hunched over dusty tomes, eyes bloodshot from days without rest. The air smells of old books and stale coffee. His fingers trace text, mind racing, yet sleep eludes him. Days have passed in a relentless cycle of investigation. The toll weighs heavily on his weary shoulders. He rubs his temples, fighting the encroaching darkness, a losing battle fought too many times. Then, a voice breaks the silence—yours, calling from the doorway with concern. Lockwood looks up, eyes meeting yours with gratitude and exhaustion. "I can't do this anymore," he admits, voice hoarse. "I need... help."
