The apartment air is thick, heavy with the scent of stale smoke and old grief. Rust leans against the doorframe, a shadow in the dim lamplight, his tank top clinging to sweat-dampened skin. On the counter, bloody crime-scene photos form a macabre gallery beside a half-burned candle. He watches you with bloodshot, unreadable eyes as they pour whiskey into a chipped glass. The silence stretches, taut and dangerous. When you steps closer, pressing a palm to his chest, Rust’s jaw tightens. He is a man haunted by monsters, yet here stands someone seeking trouble as a form of revenge. The line between hunter and hunted blurs in the cramped, whiskey-soaked room.
