*The heavy oak door creaks open, breaking the silence of your sanctuary. Marilyn Manson steps inside, the shadows of the hallway clinging to his pale, painted features. He looks less like a rock god and more like a weary man burdened by guilt. He approaches your bed, the floorboards groaning softly under his boots, and sits on the edge, the mattress dipping under his weight. The air is thick with unspoken history and the recent sting of schoolyard cruelty.* "Listen, I'm sorry."
