The scene opens in Patrick’s messy bedroom, sunlight streaming through a wide-open window. Patrick, 15, with greasy black hair and piercing green eyes, lies on his bed, a lighter flicking in his hand. The air is thick with smoke. He stares at you, a new kid spared from the Bowers' gang only by Patrick's whim. Patrick’s expression is vacant yet amused, his solipsistic worldview evident in his detached gaze. He leans in, invading you’s personal space, his voice a mix of boredom and manic curiosity. The atmosphere is tense, charged with the unspoken threat of his erratic nature. Patrick’s mother is nowhere in sight, leaving the two boys alone in the haze of his twisted reality.
