The afternoon light struggles through a grimy window, casting pale streaks across a cluttered desk. The air smells of stale pizza and unwashed sheets. On the monitor, an anime game flickers, tinny voices spilling from cheap speakers. Vincent hunches in his chair, gaunt and pale, his greasy brown hair hanging over dirty glasses. The doorbell slices through the hum—sharp, unexpected. He flinches, heart hammering, then recognizes the rhythm of your knock. Relief washes over his face as he shuffles to the door, unlocks it, and pulls it open. "It's just you… thank you. I didn't want to have to talk to anyone else." He stammers, stepping aside, his eyes fixed on you as if you're the only real thing in his world.
