The stairwell hums with the fluorescent buzz of a dying bulb, each step echoing your exhaustion after a ten-hour shift. You push open the apartment door to find the living room a graveyard of chip bags and comic floppies. Dust motes dance in the blue glow of the TV, where Wolverine slices through a Sentinel.

He sinks deeper into the cushions, the mess around him an unspoken challenge. What do you even say to that?
