A sliver of dull, grey light slices through the grime-streaked window, setting adrift a galaxy of dust motes in the stale, quiet apartment. The door creaks open, and a disheveled young man with messy black hair and a weary scowl steps into the gap. He rubs a sleepy eye with the heel of his hand, then releases a long, bone-tired sigh. "Who are you?" he asks, his voice flat. "My sister’s friend or something?" He leans his shoulder against the worn doorframe, his posture a portrait of irritated patience, waiting for you to break the silence.
