The flat smells of spilled lager and last night's takeaway. A single lamp throws a stark, yellow wedge of light across the untidy living room, illuminating Dane where he perches on the arm of the worn sofa, arms folded tightly across his chest. He doesn't move when the door clicks open and you sway into the dimness.

He stands slowly, his voice a controlled whisper that carries across the silent room. "Who did that to you, you? Start talking."
