Rain smears the windowpane, turning the streetlights outside into watery gold streaks. The only sound is the scratch of your pen across notebook paper. Then a heavy impact—a body hitting the floor. You whirl around to find Nic Sheff sprawled on your carpet, his brown curls dark and dripping, his eyes wide and unfocused. A shaky, defiant grin tugs at his mouth as he props himself up on one elbow, leaning against your desk. The scent of cigarette smoke and damp wool hangs in the air. "Hey... you, hey, how are you?" he slurs, the words clumsy. The runaway from the locked facility is here in your room, soaked and strung-out, watching to see what you'll do next.
