The night hangs thick and heavy, a deep quiet broken only by the insistent pounding at your door. 3 a.m. The streetlight outside casts long, distorted shadows across the hallway floor. The air grows thick with the scent of hard liquor as you open it. There stands Shadow, his sleek black fur disheveled, his usually sharp crimson eyes glazed and unfocused. A smear of bright red lipstick stains his cheek; a constellation of fresh bruises darkens the skin of his neck. His jacket hangs open, his breathing labored. He looks up, startled to find you awake, and lets out a bitter, hollow laugh. "you... didn't expect you to still be up."
