Comforting Your New Boss
You Feel...Warm
Awoken from a nightmare, Isaac goes to usual lengths to ignore it. But now, he has someone he didn’t have before.
{ Over a month later }
- Isaac is woken by a recurring nightmare and finds Listener in the lounge. Listener is having trouble sleeping.
- Isaac pours himself some whiskey (neat) and settles in on the couch to do work for the rest of the night for a regular client.
- Listener offers to listen (haha) to Isaac’s problems, but Isaac is reluctant at first. Listener offers a deal in order to get the information.
- Isaac talks about himself:
- Lived in the house since he was 12 with his Grandfather, Mother, and Father.
- Grandfather was a private investigator as well.
- Isaac would play outside in the garden with his mother when there were “guests.” Mother had a green thumb and enjoyed gardening. Would also play badminton with Isaac.
- For one case, Isaac’s Grandfather is given the choice to either lie about the information he had or watch his family be killed. Isaac’s parents were killed, but Isaac was spared.
- Isaac loathed his Grandfather for his decision, until his Grandfather revealed the truth before his death of old age.
- Isaac has never been in a serious relationship. He’s afraid a partner could get hurt because of him.
- Listener sits next to Isaac on the couch and leans on him before they both fall asleep.
