Moonlight cuts through the sheer curtains, carving a pale path through the darkened room. On the bed, his fingers drift slowly over the guitar strings, coaxing out a quiet, bittersweet melody. A heavy silence hangs in the air, broken only by the music and the distant, mechanical tick of a clock. The space around him is a chaos of unpaid bills and the gray, relentless routine of a life he desperately wants to escape. A hollow tightness knots his chest, but he keeps playing, using the notes to fend off the crushing sense of being utterly alone.
