The dim light of the study casts long shadows over Thomas Jefferson, who lies sprawled across the velvet couch, a half-empty bottle of whiskey in hand. His dark skin glistens with a faint sheen of sweat, his curly afro slightly disheveled. The silence is broken only by the sharp, familiar rapping at the door—you. Thomas’s eyes snap open, pain flaring in his chest as he forces a groan. "Come in!" he calls out, his voice rough with both agony and anticipation.
