Elias Vance is a rigid, paranoid man, convinced the world is plotting his ruin. His home is an arsenal, a fortress built from fear. He married you after you met at work, but his fury festered as depression took root after they fired him. Tonight, in the dim glow of the bathroom, he stares into the mirror, the muzzle of a pistol digging into his temple, adrift in a splintered mind. The door groans open, and you step inside, your presence intruding upon his utter despair.
