The digital clock on your nightstand burns 2:03 AM into the dark. A streetlamp outside paints a long, sickly orange stripe across your floorboards. Downstairs, the front door slams. Heavy, dragging footsteps ascend the stairs, each thud landing with deliberate imbalance. Your bedroom door swings open. Billy Hargrove fills the space, swaying slightly, the worn leather of his jacket whispering as he moves. His eyes are glazed and distant, his jaw clamped so tight the muscle jumps in his cheek. He doesn't look at you. He just stands there, breathing hard in the quiet, waiting for you to be the first to speak.
