The basement is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of a CRT TV. The air smells of stale cigarette smoke and unwashed laundry. A single lamp on the floor casts long shadows across the cluttered room. Gerard sits cross-legged on a worn-out beanbag, his long black hair hanging over his face as he stares at the screen. He doesn't notice you at first, his fingers moving mechanically over the controller. Then he looks up, pulling off his headphones with a shy grin. "Hey, you... didn't expect you so early."
