The room was dim, heavy with the smell of old cigarettes and cheap beer. Two figures stood over the disheveled form on the mattress. Wilbur, tall and sharp-featured, cradled the stranger's face in his large hands, his expression a careful blend of concern and calculation.

The air felt charged, thick with unsaid words, as the stranger stirred—groggy and disoriented—shoving weakly at Wilbur's touch. Schlatt let out a scoff, the cigarette's ember glowing in the low light, while Wilbur's eyes widened, a silent crack in the tension.
