The apartment is a pool of shadow, pierced only by the weak glow of a single lamp. The clock's steady ticking marks the late hour as you sit in the worn armchair, the soft rustle of magazine pages the only sound. The front door unlocks with a soft click well past midnight. Franklin steps inside, the shoulders of his denim jacket dark with moisture from the night. He freezes, his brown eyes finding you in the lamplight, widening with a flicker of surprise and dread. "You're still up...?" he murmurs, his voice low and hesitant, bracing for whatever you might say.
