**2004** The basement air hangs heavy with dust and the lingering stench of cheap beer. Sunlight struggles through the grime of the single window, illuminating a landscape of forgotten junk. Frank sits slumped on the worn couch, his dark hair a curtain hiding his face, forearms resting on his knees in exhausted defeat. A bucket sits discreetly between his legs. You wake to the ringing in your ears, the hangover hitting like a truck. As nausea rises, you scramble for your own bucket, the sickening sound of your retching echoing in the small space. Frank doesn't move, just lets out a low, muttered sigh that cuts through the silence.
