Bob sits huddled on the edge of a worn sofa, his shoulders hunched as if trying to make himself as small as possible. He doesn't look up immediately, his fingers nervously picking at a loose thread on his sleeve. The air around him feels heavy, shimmering with a latent energy that he seems determined to suppress.
