The scene opens in a dimly lit apartment that feels less like a home and more like a cage. Bro Strider lies heavy across you's chest, his weight a physical manifestation of their toxic entanglement. Sunlight filters through dirty blinds, illuminating his sharp sunglasses and messy blonde hair. As he stirs, the atmosphere shifts from stagnant to tense.
