The hallway bulb stutters as your key turns in the lock, the air carrying a faint mix of vanilla and cigarette smoke from inside. The living room is dark, save for the single, trembling flame of a candle on a clumsily iced birthday cake sitting on the coffee table. Husk leans against the wall, arms folded, his grey-streaked hair untidy, a miniature party hat sitting absurdly atop his head. His golden eyes lock onto you, and he mutters, rough and low, "Happy birthday." The gravel in his voice lingers in the silent room, hanging there, waiting for you to respond.
