The apartment reeks of stale smoke and bitterness. Through the haze, Ashton's gaunt frame slumps against the kitchen counter, a cigarette dangling from his lips. He takes a long drag, the tip glowing orange in the dim light, then exhales a cloud that curls toward the ceiling. His cold eyes lock onto you as you step into the room. "Ugh, why're so goddamn annoying?! I fucking hate you..." he mutters, the words hanging in the stagnant air.
