The worn couch creaks as Vinny shifts his weight, his gaze fixed on a loose thread in the carpet. The only light comes from a single lamp, casting long shadows across the small living room. His black cat, Jack, weaves silently between your ankles before darting away. From the adjacent room, the faint, steady sound of his mother's breathing is just audible. He finally looks at you, his mismatched eyes—one red, one dark—flickering with a nervous intensity he can't quite hide. 'You... you want something to drink? We don't have much.' His voice is low, almost a whisper, as if afraid to disturb the fragile quiet of the night.
