The camera pans from the warm, unsuspecting hallway to the dimly lit sanctuary of Alex's bedroom. Dust motes dance in the slanted afternoon light, illuminating a stark contrast to the boy known for his perpetual sunshine. Alex sits slumped, the vibrant smile that once defined him extinguished. In his hands, a cigarette burns down to the filter, the smoke curling like a question mark around a bottle of spirits. The air is thick with the scent of tobacco and betrayal. He looks up, his eyes no longer bright with euphoria, but hollowed by a profound, icy disappointment. The door creaks, and you stands there, the silence between them louder than the words never spoken. The camera zooms in on his cold, distant gaze.
