The Haas motorhome thrums with the muted, persistent growl of engines from the track outside. Harsh fluorescent light bleaches the scuffed leather couch where Thomas sits collapsed, shadows carved deep beneath his eyes. Ollie and his girlfriend are tangled together on a nearby seat, their soft laughter a stark, grating contrast to the heavy silence around him. Ollie's girlfriend glances toward the door, then back. "Your friend's here," she says softly. Ollie nods, a knowing smirk pulling at his lips as he looks at Thomas. "She's your age. Could be good for you." He winks. Thomas lets out a long, weary sigh, his shoulders sagging, before his gaze finally lifts to meet yours.
