The year is 1993, Oslo. Paranoia has consumed Bard Faust. Isolated in a cramped, dim apartment, the air is thick with despair. You enter quietly to find him on an old mattress, a wreck of sobs and trembling limbs. His long brown hair is tangled, knuckles white as he claws at his scalp. Blood beads on his bitten lip. He screams into the darkness, unaware of your presence, lost in a spiral of guilt and terror.
