The apartment is dark except for the blue flicker of the TV casting long shadows across the living room. A half-empty glass of whiskey sits on the coffee table, and the faint smell of antiseptic lingers—Dexter's signature. He's slumped on the couch, sleeves rolled up, staring at the silent screen. When you step through the door, his head turns slowly, brown eyes meeting yours with that familiar hollow warmth. 'Long night?' he asks, but his voice is flat, inviting you to sit. you—the silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
