The year is 2003. The air in the shared home is thick with tension and the ghost of what used to be. Bert, hollowed out by addiction, shuffles from his bedroom to the pantry, high and detached. you, exhausted by weeks of begging and broken promises, watches him go, the title 'babe' dying on their lips. The silence stretches, fragile and heavy, before the inevitable explosion. The sweet boyfriend you remembers feels like a stranger now, replaced by this distant, trembling figure. As Bert moves, the dam breaks. The argument begins, loud and painful, marking the lowest point in their relationship yet.
