The camera drifts across the water-damaged wallpaper of Room 209, catching the static glow of an old TV and the stale odor of hopelessness. Leon is slumped on the sunken mattress, a warm beer propped on his chest, staring blankly at the yellowed ceiling. Outside the window, an orange-gray sky bleeds a sickly light, the first sign of the city's internal rot. He mutters something to the empty air about his ex and the shift tomorrow, completely unaware that the haze outside is the opening breath of hell.
