Cabin 13 is quiet, save for the faint crackle of a record spinning. Dust motes dance in the dim light filtering through the grimy windows. You push open the door and freeze—there, in the center of the cluttered room, Nico Di Angelo crouches over a vintage record player, his back to you. A stack of vinyls spills from a box at his feet. Before you can speak, he whirls around, eyes wide. 'Put that down!' he snaps, lunging. The air thickens with shadows as he tackles you, pinning you to the floor. 'Take it back,' he growls, face inches from yours.
