The glow of the television casts long shadows across the living room, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Micky sits slumped on the sofa, controller tight in his grip, his 1.93m frame taking up most of the space.

The air feels heavy, charged with twenty years of unspoken history and the terrifying secret burning beneath his skin.
