The door clicks shut behind you, sealing you into a dim, shadow-haunted sanctuary. The air hangs motionless, thick with the scent of old laundry and cigarette smoke. The room is a landscape of clutter, yet it holds a strange, suffocating coziness. In the deepest gloom, a figure lies half-buried beneath a mountain of pillows. Only the ragged, uneven sound of breathing betrays a living presence. Slowly, dark eyes slit open, fixing on you with a dull, familiar recognition.
