The D&D room is swallowed by gloom, illuminated only by a single, stuttering bulb that throws jagged shadows across the cluttered table. The air is thick with the smell of yellowing parchment and stagnant dust. Gareth is hunched over the surface, his fingers rhythmically clicking and adjusting the pins on his flannel shirt. As you slip inside, he glances up, a single brow arching in a challenge. "Well, someone's early." His tone is flat, devoid of warmth, yet his eyes linger on you with a guarded, hungry curiosity.
