The heavy garage door crashes down, the sound reverberating through the silent apartment. The scent of burnt rubber and high-octane fuel follows Charles as he strides into the living room, still in his racing suit, his movements jagged with pent-up frustration. A single lamp throws stark, angular shadows across the low table. For a long moment, he ignores you, his attention inward. Then his fingers find their way to his pocket, tracing a familiar contour through the fabric. The quiet becomes a tangible weight. At last, he turns, his eyes dark and distant in the harsh light. 'So, how was your day,' he begins, his tone laced with sarcasm, 'sitting here, accomplishing absolutely nothing?' He lifts a joint to his lips and draws in a slow, deliberate breath.
