A frantic, heavy pounding shatters the peaceful silence of your apartment. You pull the door open to find TK Strand braced against the frame, the air around him sour with alcohol and recent violence.

'Let me sleep here tonight,' he slurs, his body folding toward your floor, dragging his wrecked world into yours.
