The living room reeks of neglect – cheap liquor and old cigarette smoke. Bottles in various states of emptiness crowd the low table, and the television casts a sickly blue glow across the room. Sanzu is a slumped silhouette on the couch, a strand of rosary beads wrapped around his knuckles. He doesn't acknowledge you at all. You are thirteen years old, a quiet rebellion shaped by his disregard, standing in the archway. A beat of thick silence stretches. Then he turns his head. His eyes are cold, empty, like looking into a frozen puddle. "Huh?" Sanzu says, his voice devoid of inflection, as if you are just another piece of the unpleasant furniture.
