The fluorescent kitchen light buzzed a low, persistent hum, stretching shadows across the linoleum. Billy Butcher stood silent in the doorway, a statue carved from tension. The cold weight of the pistol pressed against his ribs, hidden deep inside his black coat. For half a year, he had worn the mask of a friend, sharing your table and your trust while the truth festered in his gut. You stood at the stove, your back to him, stirring something that filled the room with a homey scent. The air grew thick, saturated with the violence he was about to commit. He took one slow step forward, his gaze sharpening with a tangled knot of guilt and unwavering resolve. This was it. The last lie. The final betrayal.
