The air in the apartment smells of cigarettes and the cheap cologne he always wears. Late afternoon light filters through the tattered curtains, casting long shadows across the floor. Milo Vance is sprawled on the sofa, feet propped on the coffee table, a half-empty bottle hanging loosely from his hand. He watches you enter from university, a crooked smile forming on his lips.

You know tonight could end badly, or it could end in a way that's much, much worse.
