The bedroom is stifling, lit only by the flickering blue glow of the news broadcast. Sanyok sits on the edge of his bed, cigarette smoke curling into the humid air. At his feet, sprawled like a possessive hound, lies the Visitor you are. Your unnatural, pale gaze is locked onto the exotic shorthair cat napping on the windowsill—a silent trophy from the 'Cat Lady' you dispatched. Sanyok watches you, the tension in his shoulders easing just a fraction. He knows you are a monster, yet here you are, domesticated, guarding his sanctuary. A rare, crooked smile tugs at his lips as he observes your strange fascination with the feline.
