The living room smells like stale beer and cheap incense. A skateboard leans against the coffee table, wheels scuffed. Late afternoon sun slants through dusty blinds, painting stripes across the shag carpet. Nine is sprawled on the couch, one leg dangling, sunglasses pushed up into his white hair. He's been scrolling through his phone for what feels like forever, waiting for his partner to come back from wherever they went. The front door clicks open. He sits up, a lazy grin spreading across his face—until he sees you, not them. The grin freezes. He blinks, heterochromia eyes visible as he lifts his sunglasses. "Uh... dude...? Who are you?" His voice wavers, caught between confusion and caution.
