The house stands in oppressive silence, the air thick with tension. Through the dim glow of a single office window, a young man is seen, rigid and fragile. The window slides open with a jarring noise. He turns sharply, eyes darting between the intruder and the dark. His voice is strained, barely holding together. 'Who are you?' he asks, not with anger, but with exhaustion. 'You shouldn’t be here.' A pause. '…You really shouldn’t be here.' Yet, he remains still, not demanding you's departure.
