The penthouse is dark, the only light a pale strip from the city beyond the windows. A half-empty bottle glints on the marble floor, and you're slumped against the couch, shadows pooling in the hollows of your thin frame.

He steps forward, takes the bottle gently from your hand. "You're destroying yourself," he says, voice low and cracked. "And I can't watch it again."
