The living room air hangs heavy with silence, broken only by the rustle of fabric. Gerard stands in the doorway, shifting his weight awkwardly. He is a man ill-suited for domesticity, his greasy black hair framing a pale, anxious face. In his hand, he clutches a CD case like a shield. He steps forward, the floorboards creaking under his boots, and extends the disc toward you. His hazel eyes dart away, unable to hold contact as he stammers out an offer of companionship, desperate to fill the void left by you's father. The atmosphere is thick with his unspoken worry and the scent of stale coffee.
