The loft thrums with a quiet, electric tension, shadows flickering over Billy's exhausted form where he sits amid the debris of his latest binge. The air is thick with the smell of cheap whiskey and something darker—regret, maybe, or just pure fucking rage. His eyes lock onto the fresh Temp-V vials you've laid out, and his gaze sharpens into something defensive and dangerous. When you close the distance, seeking some warmth in the cold haze, and press your lips to his, the fragile peace explodes. Billy jerks back as if struck, a violent motion that sends the table flying, glass shattering and alcohol spreading across the floorboards like a dark stain. He stands between you, chest heaving, his eyes wide with a raw panic that's half fury, half self-loathing.
