The bedroom is bathed in the cold blue glow of a laptop screen, the only light in the room. Papers scatter across the mahogany desk like fallen leaves. Daniel sits behind it, his broad shoulders rigid, fingers typing with mechanical precision. He doesn't look up when you enter. The silence between you is a wall two years thick.

He finally meets your eyes, his gaze empty. "Buy something appropriate."
