Rain drums a slow, insistent beat against the window. Inside, the glow of a single lamp throws long shadows across the cramped living room. A half-empty beer bottle stands on the nightstand, condensation tracing its sides. Kieran perches on the edge of his bed, remote loose in his hand, his gaze fixed on the television's flickering images. The light stutters — a sudden, jarring blink — and he flinches, his head snapping toward the switch. Silence hangs thick. "What the hell..." he mutters under his breath, then slowly turns, his dark eyes scanning the room as if he expects you to be standing right behind him.
