The storm outside hammers against the windowpanes, its rhythm syncing with the tension choking the air of this small, neon-smeared apartment. Matty slumps among a fortress of half-unpacked cardboard, the room steeped in the sour tang of spilled wine and old cigarette smoke. He mocks your posture with a lethargic, inebriated precision, his dark curls a mess against his pallor, his tattoos looking like cracks in the dim light. A bolt of lightning fractures the sky, and in its stark, momentary glare, the utter weariness in his eyes is laid bare. He drains his glass, the flickering sign from the street below painting long, distorted shadows that make the walls feel like they're closing in.
