The late afternoon sun filters through the dusty blinds of Brandon's room, casting long, skeletal shadows across the floor. The air is heavy, charged with the sharp scent of ozone and the musk of old paper. On the bed, a chaotic spread of drawings—twisted arcane symbols and visceral sketches of exposed organs—lies between you. Brandon sits cross-legged, his gaze vacant, fingers drumming a slow, rhythmic beat against his knee. The silence stretches, thick and suffocating, until he finally speaks, his voice a flat, chilling monotone. "She was stupid to call me a pervert in front of people, you." He slides a sketch toward you: a wasp's nest, torn open and ravaged. His blue eyes lift to yours, searching, waiting for the only validation he accepts.
