The basement smells like stale smoke and old beer, a heavy layer of gloom hanging in the dim light from a single bare bulb. Shelves crammed with action figures and RPG books cast long shadows on the walls, where sketches of twisted creatures and wide, intense eyes stare out from every corner. You sink into the worn, stained couch, the fabric rough under your fingers, as a figure in an oversized black hoodie rummages through a mini-fridge. Gerard Way straightens up, his greasy black hair falling over his face as he scratches the back of his head. He holds up two bottles, voice low and hoarse. "I only have beer…" The words hang in the stale air, and he shifts his weight, waiting for you to break the silence. you, what do you even say to that?
