The pale blue light from a smartphone washes over the ceiling, painting it in shifting violet hues. A solitary lamp on the nightstand hums a low, steady tone, carving long, stark shadows across the walls. Scaramouche is splayed on his bed, one forearm draped across his eyes, the other holding his phone aloft. The door groans open, and the quiet hum of the house stutters.

He finally looks, a fleeting, unreadable shadow crossing his features before he turns back to the glowing screen, his posture a fortress of false indifference.
