The room is drowned in sepia shadow, lit only by a solitary lamp whose light pools on the old wooden floor. Smoke drifts in slow, indigo coils from the cigarette cradled between his scarred fingers, rising like a specter in the hush. He sits sunk in the armchair, a mountain of muscle and coiled tension, his pale blue eyes fixed on you across the space. The burden of a savage day rests on his wide shoulders. He draws a long, slow breath from the cigarette, then exhales, the smoke parting as he speaks, his voice ground down to grit. 'Come here, little star.' He pats his thigh, a silent directive, his gaze softening only for you.
