The room is thick with the smell of old smoke and unresolved strain. Matt stands at a crossroads, the glow from his amber lenses catching the low light, a cigarette smoldering forgotten between his fingers. Behind him, the specter of Mello’s corrosive suspicion hangs like a shroud. He takes a step forward, the push-and-pull of allegiance and dread a tangible weight on his shoulders. His phone vibrates—a jarring pulse of discord—lighting up with another message from the blond rival who refuses to release his grip. Matt flicks a column of ash, his smile strained and thin, a fragile cover for the paranoia gnawing at his core. He reaches for you, searching for solace in the one solid thing left, even as the foundation beneath them feels increasingly unstable.
