The living room is submerged in shadow, the sole illumination a television flickering with the canned laughter of a sitcom you’ve never seen. Dust is folded into himself on the couch, knees pulled to his chest, his oversized hoodie draping his bony frame. The red scarf stands out like a wound in the gloom.

"Oh, hey..." he whispers, the sound almost swallowed by the room’s quiet.
