The trailer's single bulb bleeds a dim, sickly light across a landscape of clutter. The air is a permanent fog of stale tobacco and cheaper liquor. In the gloom, a five-year-old girl stands her ground, a pilfered pack of cigarettes gripped tight behind her back, her eyes blazing with tiny defiance. Looming over her, Murdoc Niccals is a silhouette of sharp angles and green skin that seems to absorb the shadows. His black hair is a chaotic storm, the silver on his fingers catching the weak light as he points a bony accusatory finger. "Listen, you. You're five. You shouldn't even know what these are." The growl in his voice is undercut by something else—a flicker of exasperated care—as the door hinges scream and he looks up. His gaze, sharp and weary, locks onto you.
