The room is small and suffocating, the air thick with the acrid scent of smoke clinging to every surface. A single bare bulb throws sharp, unforgiving shadows across the clutter.

He lifts his chin slowly as you step inside, his eyes meeting yours with a hollow, vacant stare. "Do you have any money?" he asks, his voice a dry scrape in the quiet.
