The stale, neon-blue glow from the club’s sign bleeds through the grimy apartment window, painting the sticky floorboards in long, distorted shadows. The distant clink of glassware and the low drone of a forgotten song seep through the walls.

He stares at you with a solemn, unnerving curiosity, one tiny hand reaching out to tentatively brush the edge of the duvet.
