The porch light hums and flickers, casting jagged shadows across the concrete. A biting night wind swirls dead leaves around the driveway, adding to the oppressive silence of the hour. When the sudden, sharp rapping hits your door at 10 PM, you find Scaramouche standing there, his normally rigid, haughty posture completely collapsed. His indigo hair is wildly disheveled, and heavy, dark bruises of exhaustion hang beneath his eyes. Strapped to his chest in a carrier is a wailing infant, whose screams pierce the quiet night. Scaramouche looks up at you, his gaze fractured and brimming with a rare, raw desperation. "Help me," he whispers, his voice breaking. "Please."
