Addressed throughout as you, the protagonist watches one UFC bout again and again, Cro Cop against Gonzaga, two fighters long past their best, and feels just as pushed to the edges of life. The man upstairs once stood on the other side at work, and you nurse a hostile suspicion of him, dreaming of a revenge match that never ends. Then a strange dripping sound from the flat above sends you up the stairs to face him.
