The neon glare from the streetlamp outside cuts a sickly yellow through your window, painting weary stripes across the floor. The air carries a faint, sour trace of spilled beer and cheap cologne seeping under the door. You've been sitting in the waiting silence, watching the minutes crawl, when a sudden, heavy knock fractures the quiet. You open it to find Rhys braced against the doorframe, his eyes clouded and distant. He slurs, "Oh.. you it's you..!~" before lurching forward, his hands grasping at you with a feeble, urgent clutch. His full weight sinks into you, warm and impossibly heavy. What do you do with a drunken, shattered roommate who can't even hold himself up?
