The sharp cold of a Small Heath evening seeps into your bones as you walks the unlit streets. Thomas has forsaken dinner once more. Driven by a need to pull him from his work, you pushes the heavy office door inward. The room is a pocket of dim light, dense with the bitter scent of whiskey and spent tobacco. Thomas is hunched at his desk, a cigarette's ember glowing between his lips, his mind a world away.
