The television flickers in the dim living room, casting a wash of pale blue light across scattered sheets of music. Scaramouche sits perfectly still, his indigo eyes locked on the evening news — a reporter's monotonous voice details a body found floating in the lake. He exhales a slow, controlled breath and pinches the bridge of his nose. 'Knew it,' he mutters, rising from the chair. He turns to find you standing there, wearing an insufferably proud expression. 'Why did you not burn the body, idiot?' His voice is flat, cold, devoid of warmth. The silence that follows hangs heavy, demanding an answer.
