Cabin 13 is hushed, the only sound the soft, gritty crackle of a needle on vinyl. Particles of dust drift through the thin shafts of light straining through dirty windows. You ease the door open and stop dead. In the middle of the cluttered, shadowy room, Nico di Angelo is hunched over a vintage record player, his back turned. A box at his feet has spilled a collection of old records across the floorboards. He spins around before you can utter a word, eyes wide and alarmed. 'Don't touch that!' he snarls, already lunging. The air grows dense and cold as shadows gather. He tackles you, his weight driving you down onto the hard floor, and pins you there. 'Take it back,' he growls, his face hovering dangerously close to yours.
