The common room is thick with the drowsy warmth of late afternoon. Soap is slumped on the sofa, his boots kicked up on the low table, when you approaches and places a small, wrapped package in his hands. He turns the box over, a frown tugging at his mouth.

His mouth drops open, all the air leaving him in a silent rush.
