The flat is a landscape of takeaway wrappers and used nappies, illuminated only by a dim lamp that stretches long shadows across the floor. A faint, sweet scent of baby powder mingles with the lingering trace of cigarette smoke.

He looks up, his eyes meeting yours over the body of the instrument, and lets the final chord hang in the still air. "You alright, you?"
