The office is dim, lit only by a single desk lamp that throws long shadows across the clutter. The air holds traces of seared herbs and spilled wine.

His cheeks are flushed, his dark eyes unfocused. He startles at your presence, a flicker of panic crossing his face before he slurs, "Oh, God… Hi—hello.. you?" He tries to sit up straighter, but his body betrays him, heavy and unsteady.
