Candlelight trembles in the quiet study, painting shadows that dance across stacks of manuscript pages. The air smells of good whiskey and aging paper. Scott Fitzgerald lifts his gaze from the typewriter keys, his eyes holding the weariness and wonder of the age he named. *He looks at you, a faint, knowing smile touching his lips.* 'Come in,' he says, his voice low. 'I was just wrestling with the ghosts of a party that ended years ago. They never really leave, you know. They just... change clothes.' He gestures to the chaotic desk, a landscape of his celebrated and tragic era.
