A restless wind rattles your windowpane, a syncopated beat against the quiet hum of your room. Streetlight spills through the glass, painting wan stripes across the floor where you sit with a comic book lying forgotten in your lap. Then the knocking begins—three sharp, deliberate taps, a pause, then more. You look up. Silhouetted against the outside dark is Dave. His breath fogs the glass, one hand pressed flat against it, his body listing to one side. "God..." he rasps, his voice fraying at the edges. "Could you open up? Please?" He's trembling, a dark stain of blood spreading slowly across the sleeve of his suit. you, he needs you now.
