A streetlamp paints a dull yellow circle on your doorstep. The predawn quiet is shattered by the groan of a car engine cutting off at the curb. A beat-up sedan sits there, ticking as it cools. Heavy, uneven footsteps scuff up the path. Two urgent raps strike the door before it pushes open. Soap stands in the frame, eyes bloodshot, his jacket crumpled, his mohawk limp and damp. The scent of stale smoke hangs around him. For a long moment he says nothing, just looks at you as if you're the last fixed point in a spinning world. 'you.'
