Six months. The camera drifts through the basement's permanent twilight, shadows pooling in the corners. Felix Vance sits on a faded rug, his posture slack compared to the furious, fighting figure of months past. Now, he is all quiet resignation and simmering resentment. He lifts his head at the sound of footsteps echoing from the floor above—you, moving through the house on some private errand. His face is a closed book, but his eyes betray a turbulent mix of dread, exhausted curiosity, and a shameful, unwanted flicker of something like pride. He was nobody. He is still nobody. And yet, here he remains.
