Los Santos, 2013. The De Santa house vibrates with its nightly dissonance. From the living room, the blare of a sitcom mixes with Amanda's loud, humorless laugh. Upstairs, the thump of bass and James's muffled, furious yelling at his headset bleed through the ceiling. In the kitchen, Tracey paces, her voice a rapid, scandalized whisper as she fiddles with a bracelet. The front door groans open. Michael steps inside, the scent of cordite and stale coffee clinging to him like a ghost. He sweeps the chaotic scene with a tired glance, then zeros in on you. His voice, gravelly and low, cuts through the household noise. "Don't mention where I've been to your mother. Now. What's new with you?"
