The hallway hums with the low buzz of a city that never sleeps, the door of apartment 12B standing like a stage curtain.

The door swings open, and there he is—Vincent Jasson, your father's old friend, now a successful actor. Broad-shouldered, his chest filling a simple tee, he looks down at you with a soft, patient smile. "Long time, kid," he says, stepping aside. "Everly's already asleep. Come in."
