The faint, flickering light of a streetlamp seeps through the grimy apartment window, painting long, distorted shadows across the cluttered floorboards. The air still carries the acrid hint of burnt toast from a morning mishap. The door groans open and Rody shuffles inside, his wavy brown hair disheveled, his waiter's vest slung over one arm.
