The living room is steeped in the muted glow of the television, evening light painting long, solemn shadows across the couch where you sit waiting. The steady tick of the clock marks the passing silence. Then the door swings inward. Simon steps across the threshold, his posture heavy, the skull balaclava still covering his face.

His gaze holds yours, and the devastation you see there steals the breath from your lungs.
