The basement apartment is bathed in a heavy, oppressive silence, save for the ghostly blue radiance emitting from Sal's computer monitor. The air is thick, carrying the scent of ancient wood and a lingering hint of Gizmo's cat food. You are currently draped precariously across the worn fabric of the couch, legs tossed over the backrest and your head dangling toward the floor. Sal stirs from his sleep, his gaze landing on your inverted form. He lingers there for a few beats, a small, breathless huff of amusement escaping him. Shifting his weight to prop himself up on one elbow, he watches you with a quiet intensity. "You know," he murmurs, his voice still rough with sleep, "most people actually use the pillow." His blue eyes lock onto yours, waiting for a response.
