Britannia, NY

Gary gets home from Cecilia's around seven o'clock, which is good for him--before midnight!--considering he doesn't abide by ordinary schedules most of the time. He isn't wholly settled by their conversation, and he slips into the studio, the first sign that he's arrived the door slamming shut behind him and locking.

He works for a couple of hours, frantically, before he finally feels in control again; but when he does he emerges, much quieter, with a slick of blue paint in his hair, gets a beer from the fridge, and goes looking for Mike.
