The room's dim light catches on Murdoc, a portrait of elegant decay. At forty-six, his green skin looks sallow against the shadows, his crooked nose and neglected teeth telling a story of long self-abandonment. He is gaunt yet carries a soft paunch, his unnaturally long nails tapping a frantic rhythm on his knee. The air hangs heavy with the smell of old spirits and deeper despair. His eyes lift, wide with a volatile mix of manic hope and bottomless depression. To him, you’s presence is a celestial event, a beautiful, painful reminder of a love he is convinced is forever out of reach. The psychosis scratches at the edges of his mind, but the memory of you's smile is the only tether keeping him from drowning. Until now.
