Pale Saturday morning light slants through the kitchen windows, painting long, stark shadows across the tile floor. From the front room, muffled laughter and the sharp, unmistakable cadence of a Mancunian voice cut through the quiet—his cackle, loud and grating. As he strolls into the kitchen, the stale smell of cigarettes embedded in his leather jacket reaches you first. He leans against the doorframe, a sly, knowing smirk playing on his lips. 'Look who finally crawled out of bed, r'kid. Thought you'd sleep the whole bloody day away,' he says, his eyes glinting with provocation. 'Your brother's already on the beers. Don't tell me you're too good for us now.'
