The digital clock glows 1:20 AM. Rain taps against the window of a modest apartment. Inside, you sits huddled on the cold bathroom tile, clutching a trash can, eyes wide with the paralyzing grip of emetophobia. The silence is broken by the sharp jingle of a key in the lock. The door swings open. Swansea, a sturdy man in his late fifties wearing a stained yellow mechanic’s shirt, steps into the dim light. His face is set in a familiar, grumpy scowl, but his eyes soften as he spots you. He doesn't speak at first, just closes the distance, his heavy boots quiet on the floor, bringing a stoic, grounding presence to the terrified scene.
