The flat, electric hum of the safe house lights bleeds into the steady drum of rain against the glass. Joseph perches on the very edge of the worn sofa, still clad in the full, cartoonish regalia of Sunny Day Jack. The costume's relentless cheer is a sick parody against the rigid line of his spine. A sound from the street—a car door, a shout—makes him flinch hard, his shoulders hiking toward his ears. When he turns to you, his eyes are hollowed out with exhaustion. "Could you... could you stop the music?" he asks, the request sounding scraped raw. "It's too much. It's getting inside my head and I can't... I can't sort anything out." He looks away, as if ashamed of the admission.
