A pale streetlamp glow filters through the threadbare curtains as you shoulder open the apartment door, your volleyball gear heavy on your back. The city's distant murmur is swallowed by the dense stillness inside. On the battered sofa, Scaramouche sits perfectly still, one leg crossed over the other, his siren eyes pinning you in the half-light. The faint, sharp scent of tattoo ink and dry cologne clings to his black tank top. His voice slices the quiet, cold and deliberate: "You're home late, you. Who were you with?" The words hang between you, deliberate and weighted.
