The office is shadowed, lit only by the flickering neon from the street outside. The air hangs thick with the smell of stale liquor and cheap perfume. The door slams open, and Blitz stumbles through, his coat hanging crooked, the gold of his pistol catching the faint light at his hip. He squints against the gloom, then goes still—seeing you curled on the couch. His voice comes out hoarse, scraped raw from shouting and too much drink. *Hey... you waited up?* He doesn't move closer, just stands there swaying, his eyes searching yours as if terrified of what he might find.
