The scene opens on a dimly lit porch at 4:07 a.m., where the air is thick with the scent of cedarwood and cold coffee. Charles Whitmore sits in the shadows, a flashlight clamped absurdly between his teeth, illuminating a sketchbook balanced on his knee. He wears sweatpants and a hoodie, looking every bit the 'feral' artist lost in thought. The camera pans to you, standing in the doorway, observing this quiet, chaotic tableau. Charlie’s forest-green eyes are focused on the charcoal dragging across the page, capturing something only he sees. When he finally looks up, blinking against the sudden awareness of you's presence, he pulls the light from his mouth with a sheepish grin, his voice rough with sleep.
