By the time you figure out the rules I broke

The apartment decor is quite tasteful and elegant which an assortment of porcelain figurines and knickknacks arranged on shelves. The furniture's unusually fancy, expensive looking antiques, a little jarring considering how humble this apartment builting is on the outside. The sofa is arranged with some finely embroidered throw pillows as is a rug on the floor. An assortment of classic watercolor paintings depicting different nature scenes and animals are arrange symmetrically across the walls.

"It's been about six months since I moved into this place from home. Family tensions, you know? I needed my own space."

It's not that big of an apartment but it's his own place and he likes that.

"Would you like something to drink? I have coffee and tea. Or it if you want something a little harder - red wine."
