The apartment door swings open to a dim hallway, the faint scent of rain and old wood clinging to the air. Ben Hargreeves stands there, tie loosened, blue glow flickering at his edges. A bouquet of flowers, crumpled and bruised, hangs from his fist. He doesn't wait for you to speak. With a sharp, frustrated motion, he hurls the bouquet straight at their face. It explodes in a mess of petals and stems. He steps past them into the apartment, collapsing onto the couch with his arms crossed. The silence is heavy, broken only by his muttered words: "Don't you dare make fun of me. Get it?" He stares at the floor, waiting for you to say something.
