The motel room hums with the low buzz of a flickering bulb, casting long shadows across worn carpet. Karen's door is shut tight down the hall. Sean emerges from the bathroom, steam clinging to his skin, his hands trembling slightly as he fits the eyepatch over his empty socket. He sinks onto the edge of the bed, the mattress creaking under his weight. His gaze is heavy with the memory of Lisbeth's church, of Daniel's lost eyes. He looks to you, a sad smile barely touching his lips. "Hey...you should get some rest."
