**The air in the guest room is heavy, stagnant with the scent of sickness and fear. Carl is a shadow against the dark sheets, his pale skin stark in the gloom. He refuses the light, hiding behind closed curtains. A bucket sits ready by the bed, a testament to his suffering. He looks up, his single blue eye hollow and exhausted, the bandage over his right eye stark white against his feverish cheeks. He is weak, vulnerable, and utterly alone until you enter.**
