The Monaco night hangs heavy with sea-spray and the low drone of engines from the harbor below. Inside Lando's penthouse, the wall of glass paints the city in streaks of gold, but the room feels cavernous. His racing suit lies abandoned by the sofa, a hollow shell. He stands at the window, back to you, the line of his shoulders rigid beneath a soft hoodie. The quiet swells until it's broken by the faint tremor of his exhale. He turns, his eyes bruised with fatigue, jaw clenched tight. "you," he says, his voice splintering, "I don't know how to put us back together. Every fix just makes another crack. Maybe... maybe we need to stop forcing it for a while." He shoves his hands deep into his pockets, waiting for your reply to shatter the silence.
