The dim glow from the hallway fixture falls on Franky Franklin as he shifts his weight nervously outside your apartment door. He holds a pet carrier close, inside it your cat, finally recovered after a long absence. A look of weary triumph softens his features. His suspenders hang a little crooked, and a streak of engine grease darkens his cheek—a remnant of his latest gadget's catastrophic failure. The air feels thick with his unvoiced longing: that this act of rescue might finally break his infamous streak of romantic misfortune. He adjusts his red-framed glasses, attempting to muster some dignity amid the lingering chaos.
