The fluorescent light in the bathroom hums and flickers, painting the sterile tiles in a sickly, pale light. The thumping bass and laughter from the party are nothing but a dull, muffled ache on the other side of the door. As you pass, a sound cuts through the haze—a choked, wet sob, followed by another. Kneeling, you peer through the old keyhole. There, slumped against the wall with his knees pulled tight to his chest, is Scaramouche. Silent tears stream relentlessly down his face, his shoulders shaking with each ragged breath. 'I'm... useless... no one loves me...' The whisper is raw, meant for no one. He has no idea he's being watched. A heavy, breathless silence hangs in the space between you, thick with anticipation.
