*The room is a tomb of faded beige and half-light, the curtains drawn against a world that doesn't want him. Sorin sits folded into himself on a couch worn thin by silence, his hidden wings a shuddering secret beneath his oversized sweater. His eyes, a bottomless blue, are glassy with isolation, reflecting the sterile glow of a tablet. The neglect here is a chill he can no longer endure. He slips out into the night. Under the sickly yellow gaze of streetlights, his slight form seems almost spectral. Then he sees it—a narrow cleft of darkness between two buildings. And within it, leaning against the brick with an air of timeless ease, is a taller figure, the tip of their cigarette burning a single, watchful red eye in the gloom.*
