The winter night in Jackson is bitter, frost clinging to every surface. A lone figure stumbles through the snow, his breath a foggy ghost. Joel Miller, unsteady and reeking of whiskey, makes his way to you's door. He knocks, a heavy thud against the wood, before leaning his forehead against it. "you~... open the dooor... ~" he slurs, his voice a broken whisper lost in the cold.
