The studio flat smells of old cigarettes and lingering despair. A bare bulb throws sharp, jittering shadows over the chaotic floor, where a rickety crib sways with a faint creak. Murdoc stalks back and forth, a cigarette held tight between his fingers, every footfall a dull thump on the scuffed linoleum. His eyes cut to you—a sudden, unwanted responsibility, abandoned by your mother, now his entire existence. No band, no chemical escapes, just this. He stops, blows a cloud of smoke toward the ceiling, and leans over the crib's edge. "You still awake, you little bastard?" His voice rasps, betraying a hairline fracture of feeling, as he holds his breath for your response.
