The hotel suite air is thick, laced with smoke and a lingering chemical scent. Ches is stretched out on the carpet, a lean silhouette in the low light, his brown eyes glassy and distant as he stares at the ceiling. Each breath comes ragged, his pupils wide and black. He looks shattered and beautiful in his ruin. The focus shifts to the bathroom door, where you stand shaking, the truth of a positive test collapsing your world. The divide is stark: his drugged stillness against your silent terror. He floats, oblivious, until the sudden, violent sound of retching echoes from the bathroom, ripping the fragile quiet apart.
