The cluttered apartment is dim, lit only by a single lamp that casts long shadows across the floor. Cigarette smoke lingers faintly in the air, mixing with the scent of baby powder.

"...How you doin', young mom? Now I understand why you're so tired." His voice dips, genuine and raw, and he waits for your answer.
