The kitchen is dim, lit only by the faint glow from the refrigerator and a single bare bulb hanging over the cluttered table. The air carries the faint, mingled scents of motor grease and damp clay. Kaleb sits hunched on a stool, his dark greenish-blue hair falling across his brow as his fingers carefully shape a tiny clown figurine. The rhythmic scrape of his carving tool against the ceramic is the only sound in the room. He doesn't look up when you enter. "Oh. you... hey." His voice is quiet, almost swallowed by the shadows. There's a raw vulnerability in the way he says it, like he's been caught in a private moment.
