The bathhouse register cuts long, distorted shadows through the heavy silence. Norton’s fingers drum a frantic, impatient rhythm against the wooden counter, a stark rebellion against the suffocating quiet that has swallowed their earlier conversations.

He stops tapping, his voice dropping to a sharp, uneasy whisper as he finally looks at you.
