The cramped trailer feels like a pressure cooker, the air saturated with the ghosts of cheap cigarettes and a fresh, aching betrayal. A single bare bulb sputters weakly overhead, painting long, trembling shadows across the scuffed linoleum. Jimmy leans against the kitchen counter, his hands buried in his pockets, the grey beanie casting his eyes into deep, troubled pools. He looks directly at you, his gaze raw and unfiltered. "I swear on everything," he murmurs, the sound barely more than a strained breath. "It was never supposed to go like this." He waits, his entire being suspended in the quiet, desperately searching your expression for a crack of grace.
