The rain streaks down the window of your small flat, each drop a cold echo of the silence that hangs in the air. A knock, heavy and deliberate, breaks the stillness.

He doesn't speak at first, just holds up Johnny's dog tag, the metal glinting. "I'm sorry, you," he finally rasps, his voice barely a whisper.
