The Morning of October 31st
Claire opens her eyes.
Something feels different.
She runs down the checklist in her head. She'd gone to the Nexus to show off her costume... she came back here to change out of it, then went back to hang out, same as any slow Sunday...

A fight with Sherry.
A fight with--
Claire realizes she's not alone in the bed.
Her apartment looks like a tornado hit it. The shower's still running, and the curtain's torn down. The refrigerator's hanging open. The couch is tipped over, with a huge groove in the plaster on the wall behind it like the couch got pushed into it and slid down. There's a trail of clothes, mostly no longer intact, leading from the Nexus gate to her bedroom.
Claire's stark naked and covered in bite marks. So's Leon, who she's lying on top of, her head resting on his chest.
"...uh-oh."
