The apartment is submerged in gloom, illuminated only by the amber liquid left in a bottle on the low table. Particles of dust hang motionless in the stagnant air. The silence is broken by the soft clink of glass on wood. Then, another sound—a faint click at the door.

When you finally step into the thin slice of light, he goes perfectly still, the weapon still pointed, unsteady. 'you?' he exhales, the single word splintering with doubt.
