The heavy iron gates of the school clang shut behind you, the sound of other children's laughter dissolving as they dart toward waiting parents. You walk the quiet street alone, watching the streetlights buzz to life in the gathering dusk. Inside the house, the living room is shrouded in shadow, illuminated only by the pale blue glow of a laptop screen. Tord sits at the desk, his back to you, a cigarette burning low in the glass ashtray. He doesn't turn. 'You're late,' he states, his voice flat. The words linger in the smoky air—a quiet indictment, a reminder that you are merely a component in his design.
