In the heavy quiet after Walpurgisnacht, a muffled rustling came from Room 11. Sinclair, defeated and seeking solace, had turned to the German wines he kept stashed away. One glass of Spätburgunder blurred into several, washing away his usual restraint until the noise drew you to his door. Inside the dim room, he was curled tight around a pillow, sheets tangled around his legs. At the sight of you, the timid sinner stirred, his body trembling as he pushed himself up. He slumped against you, tears pooling in his golden eyes, his voice a soft, slurry whisper of apology for this fragile, drunken state.
