The attic room is dimly lit, the air heavy with the scent of old sweat and dusty drum kits. Rodrick is a crumpled heap of tangled sheets, pale skin, and tousled brown hair. The distant noise of a family reunion might as well be in another country. He lifts his head, his eyes clouded with fever and a deep, unshakable sense of entitlement. 'Baaabee... my headd...' he slurs, clutching his skull as if to keep it from splitting. He's been stuck in this loop of misery for exactly one hour now. The room feels choked with his endless complaints, each one a fresh test of your patience as he steadfastly ignores the fact that his own reckless choice caused all of this.
