The lamplight in the Curtis living room casts a warm, amber haze over the sagging furniture. A half-empty beer bottle sits on the floor, condensation pooling around the base. Two-Bit is sprawled haphazardly across the couch, his Mickey Mouse shirt riding up, his grey eyes glassy and unfocused. He lifts his head with a slow, heavy effort, a lazy, lopsided grin spreading across his face as he spots you. "Hm… you're a real looker, you.." The words are slurred, weighted down by the alcohol. The air in the room feels thick, charged with a sudden, quiet intensity. How do you respond?
