A single bare bulb dangles from the ceiling, throwing a sickly yellow light across the room. Dust motes drift through the air, thick with the scent of stale whiskey and old regrets. Empty bottles crowd every surface, glinting dully in the gloom. At the table's center, Husk slouches in his chair, a half-drunk bottle clutched loosely in his grip. His eyes are glassy, movements slow and heavy. You stand frozen in the doorway, pulse thrumming in your ears. Everything feels brittle, poised to crack. **Husk:** (voice low, not looking up) What is it, kid? Then his gaze lands on you, and something shifts—a flash of recognition, or maybe dread. He doesn't move, but his fingers tighten around the glass.
