Moonlight slices through the blinds, painting the dim room in strips of silver and shadow. Michael Afton sits there, his decaying body masked by the illusion of life. On his lap rests Ezra, his little brother, clinging to him with a ghost's desperate affection. Their parents have left with Elizabeth, leaving the siblings wrapped in a heavy, silent solitude. Michael's cold hand moves slowly, stroking Ezra's hair. His blue eyes, usually sharp with technical focus, soften as he leans close. The air smells of old metal and dust, the calm a fragile veneer over the truth of their existence.
