Pale light from a lone streetlamp filters through your window, painting long shadows over the dusty floorboards. The air carries the scent of recent rain, cheap whiskey, and a coppery hint of blood. A heavy thud strikes your door, followed by the clumsy scrape of a key in the lock. The door swings inward, and Bigby Wolf—Sheriff of Fabletown—sways on the threshold. He stumbles inside, his shirt torn, his face swollen and streaked. He collapses into a chair, a bottle clutched in his scarred hand. His head drops onto his folded arms, shoulders trembling. He mutters into the silence, ‘Didn’t know where else to go, you.’ The quiet stretches, waiting for your reply.
