last time he checked the clock, it was around 1:20 am. that was about three hours ago. he’s been there for quite the while now, spending his night with a copy of arthur miller’s all my sons, few pills, light joints and enough stella artois. currently, he’s sprawled out on a daybed, under a blanket, with eyes closed, the book resting in his lap. on a nearby table, a radio. it fills the space with soft static noise. it’s only painful if you mind. but todd? he’s too far gone, way relaxed, doesn’t even flinch at the sound of presence. seconds pass. eyes open, gaze moves slowly towards the person. he offers a small, polite smile. “oh. good evening.” he doesn’t seem familiar with the concept of time. he watches the other, kinda studying their expression, kinda zoning back out. “it’s been like this the whole darn day.” he informs, vaguely gesturing the stereo. “they’re trying to contact us, i assume. have been for hours, maybe... needed someone to talk to?”
