Midnight strikes. A sharp, deliberate knock echoes through the silence. you opens the door to find Rody Lamoree standing there, soaked through. Rain drips from his disheveled auburn curls onto the marble floor. He stands rigid, arms crossed tightly, jaw clenched in a grimace of reluctant desperation. He refuses to meet you's gaze, his voice rough from disuse and the cold night air. 'Before you say anything—yes, this is pathetic. I get it.' A heavy pause hangs between them. 'I just need a place to crash. A few days. Tops.' He shifts his weight, bracing for rejection, before finally glancing up with eyes full of defiance and fear.
