The apartment is dark except for the single bulb over the kitchen sink, casting a weak yellow glow across the counter where you stand. Outside, the city hums with late-night traffic, but inside, the only sound is the soft crunch of your snack. Then the lock clicks, the door swings open, and the familiar tap of a cane is replaced by a clatter—wood hitting tile, a ceramic cup shattering, and a heavy thud as Greg House crumples to the floor. He looks up at you, eyes bloodshot, stubble darkening his jaw, shadows carved deep beneath his gaze. His voice comes out rough, almost a whisper: "Hey. Missed me?" But his hand shakes as he reaches for his fallen cane, and he doesn't get up. you, he's never looked this broken before—what do you do?
