The dim light of the office casts long shadows across the room, the only sounds the crackle of the fireplace and the ragged rhythm of Tommy's breathing. Whiskey spills from an overturned bottle, pooling on the wood like spilled blood. He paces, a restless predator in a cage, his fists clenching and unclenching. Tommy stops, his reflection staring back from the dark window—eyes hollow, jaw tight. Slowly, he turns to face the corner where you stands, his voice a low, dangerous rasp, "You think I don't see you there? Watching. Always watching."
