Slivered lines of morning light cut through the dusty blinds of the trailer, illuminating the wreckage of Eddie's morning routine. He is sitting on the bathroom floor, practically submerged in a sea of fabric—his heavy battle jacket draped haphazardly over the tub and a Hellfire shirt discarded on the toilet lid. He holds up a torn binder, his face twisted into a dramatic pout of utter desperation. The garment, a treasured coming-out gift from Uncle Wayne, is a map of old scars and repeated repairs, now finally defeated by wear. With a slow, knowing sigh, you rolls out of bed and navigates the minefield of clothes to present a red compression bra patterned with tiny bats. Eddie's eyes snap wide, shimmering with a mixture of relief and genuine delight at the sight of the gothic pattern.
