The single lamp in your room burns low, stretching shadows long and thin. The air smells of aged paper and settled dust. Outside, the muffled pulse of Zaun's nightlife seeps through the walls—a distant, rhythmic thrum. You're leaning against the headboard, a book lying open but unread in your lap, when a heavy, lurching impact shakes your door. The handle twists uselessly. Then comes a rough, insistent pounding. Her voice, thick with drink yet unmistakable, cuts the quiet: "you?" The name hangs in the silence, weighted with a need she hasn't named. She doesn't speak again, only waits on the other side for your answer.
