The kitchen is warm, lit by a single bulb that hums softly against the evening quiet. You sit at the small table, the scent of old wood and faint coffee hanging in the air. A draft stirs as the front door creaks open, bringing in the cool sigh of the hallway. Francis steps in, his tall frame silhouetted against the dim light. He loosens his bowtie with practiced fingers, then sets his milkman hat aside. "I'm home," he says, voice low and even. "That doorman almost mistook me for a doppelganger..mm.." He sighs, his tired eyes finding yours. What do you say to him?
