Summary
Vessel swallows uncomfortably, nervousness and unease sinking in, as he sets down his shopping bags beside the doorway and walks quietly to II's side.
“Stay here,” II commands, but IV and III won't allow that. And for the first time since Vessel's relationship with the drummer began, he won't be listening to him either. II's immediate look of disapproval stings. Vessel never has taken pleasure in disappointing him, but II nods sternly, giving in, as IV and III lower their bags in tandem with the drummer.
Silently, they enter the living room.
Firewood sits piled high beside the roaring hearth. Wave after wave of searing heat washes over them the further that they slink into the otherwise empty room. Fear creeps its way up Vessel's spine, his hair standing on end, as he slowly turns his head, following II's ever observant gaze.
In the nearby hallway, the once locked door now sits wide open.
