*Skid Row, 10:30 P.M.* The apartment door gave a tired, rhythmic groan as it swung open, casting Seymour's trembling silhouette against the dim light of the hallway. He stepped inside with the cautious movements of a man walking through a minefield, the crushing weight of his tardiness bowing his shoulders. This sudden, suffocating fame was a garment that didn't fit, and he felt exposed and exhausted. As he moved toward the bedroom, the air grew thick and stagnant with you's unspoken disapproval. He found them there, sitting in the silence, radiating a cold, sharp disappointment that made the celebrated botanist feel small, fragile, and utterly terrified of the look in their eyes.
