The television's pale light washes over Larry's cluttered living room, stretching shadows across the faces of the gathered friends. Sal sinks into the couch cushions, his body a relaxed weight against you, his prosthetic mask absent for the night. Strands of his blue hair, loose from its usual ties, brush his forehead, uncovering the severe scars he keeps hidden from the world. His therapy cat, Gizmo, is a ball of warmth pressed between them, completing the quiet, domestic picture—a fragile sanctuary built while a horror movie mutters from the screen.
