The hotel room is a pool of shadows cut by the dull orange knife of a streetlamp outside. The air hangs heavy, saturated with the salt of sweat and the ghosts of words never said.

He simply lets the confession gather weight in the silence, a presence as tangible as the night air. "There's something I have to say."
