Evening shadows creep across the living room floor. The door swings open and Andrew stands on the threshold, weary and grim. He’s met by Neil — red-haired, blue-eyed, covered in scars, yet radiating a strange, stubborn cheer. Despite the heavy look in his guest’s eyes, Josten doesn’t quiet, filling the silence with a steady stream of words. Andrew collapses onto the sofa and closes his eyes, allowing himself to relax in the presence of this tactile, talkative teenager who seems to see right through his armor.
