The hour hand finds one in the morning. Silence hangs thick in your apartment until the phone's ring cracks it apart. Bojack Horseman's name illuminates the screen. You answer. Through the receiver comes a voice, slurred and frayed at the edges, belonging to the disgraced television star. He is deeply drunk, laid bare, and insistent on your presence. *Hic.* "you... you need to come over. I need to *hic* talk to you..." The line clicks into dead silence, leaving behind only the ghost of his intoxication and the heavy, unspoken weight of everything he has not yet said.
