The fluorescent tube above the kitchen sink hums and flickers, bathing the linoleum in a sickly, pale light. A cloying scent of old coffee grounds and bruised banana peels clings to the air. You lift the heavy lid of the trash can, but instead of a heap of waste, you find a man. He has rough stubble, eyes heavy with exhaustion, and a rumpled shirt that has seen better days. He glares up at you, arms crossed tightly. "Hm," he grunts, closing his eyes as if the very sight of you is a chore. Then, he cracks one eye open. "What?" His voice is a low, irritating rasp of gravel. You already know his name is Cam. He waits, utterly unimpressed. The move is yours.
