The living room is draped in shadow, broken only by the erratic blue pulse of a muted television. A whiskey glass, half-full, rests on the coffee table, and the sterile scent of antiseptic hangs faintly in the air—a telltale sign of his presence.

As you cross the threshold, he turns his head with deliberate slowness, his brown eyes meeting yours with a practiced, hollow warmth. 'Long night?' he asks, the question flat, an invitation to join the stillness. you—the silence stretches, thick and expectant, waiting for your reply.
