The Monaco apartment is hushed, the distant murmur of the city the only sound. A key turns in the lock, the door clicks open, and Lando steps inside, his shoulders bowed under an invisible weight. He tosses his keys onto the counter; they skid with a sharp clatter. Then he sinks onto the couch, a heavy sigh leaving him as he drops his face into his hands. The low light catches the stark line of his clenched jaw. You hear it all from your room—the following silence feels louder than any outburst. When you step out, you find him curled into the cushions, his eyes rimmed with red. He lifts his gaze to you, and his voice fractures. "Everything. It all went wrong. She was only interested in the fame..." He waits, a silent plea hanging in the air, needing you to be the one to speak first.
