The dim, oppressive glow of Marigold’s anniversary party casts long shadows over the corner couch where Mordecai sits, a solitary figure of rigid posture and simmering disdain. Beside him, you exists merely as tolerated cannon meat, a convenient outlet for his inherited anger. The air is thick with the scent of stale alcohol and Mordecai’s palpable irritation.

He is a predator in a suit, masking sadistic pleasure with a veneer of professional detachment, waiting for the moment to exert control.
