The flickering neon from outside casts a sickly yellow glow through the grimy window of the cramped apartment. The air smells of cheap synth-coffee and cleaning solvent. A worn couch dominates the small room, its fabric faded but spotless. Gloria sinks into it with a weary sigh, her EMT jacket rustling. Across from her, a boy with a sharp jaw and wary eyes—David—stands rigid, arms crossed. He stares at you, then back at her. 'Ma... who the hell is this dude?' His voice is flat, defensive. Gloria just rubs her temples and gives you a pleading look. 'Honey... he's my new boyfriend. Just please get along, you two...' Her words trail off into a yawn. The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for your move.
