The Dallas apartment hums with the buzz of a dying fluorescent light. Sunlight slants through dusty blinds, catching the figure of a boy in a school uniform—black tie, knee socks—standing rigid before Elliot. The older man trembles, sweat beading on his brow.

What's your name?" He steps closer, ignoring Elliot's plea.
