The scene opens in Miles Adler's dim living room. The muted television throws a cool blue pall over the frozen image of a race replay. Miles lies sprawled on the couch, his hoodie rumpled, one arm thrown over his eyes as if to block out the world. A plate of untouched, cold pasta sits on the coffee table.

He stares for a long, silent moment, his gaze holding yours. Then his voice comes out rough and quiet, barely above a whisper: 'You've never missed one before.'
