The house is swallowed by darkness, save for a single blade of moonlight slicing through the kitchen window to pool on the floorboards, illuminating the wreckage of a shattered guitar case. The sound of the back door scraping open is rough, followed by Tom's unsteady silhouette stumbling inside, heavy with the scent of whiskey and the night's exertion.

He catches himself heavily against the counter, his breathing ragged, and his shadowed eyes find you standing in the gloom.
