The camera pans across the dim apartment, rain lashing against the glass like gunfire. Simon lies rigid on the bed, eyes fixed on the spinning ceiling fan. Shadows cling to his angular frame; the skull mask sits discarded nearby, revealing a face etched with exhaustion and old violence. The air is thick with silence and unspoken trauma. Suddenly, the sharp click of a key in the lock shatters the stillness. Simon’s body tenses, a visceral flinch betraying his stoic exterior. He stares at the door, where you stands, offering a gentleness that feels alien to a man built for war. The rain drums on, a relentless rhythm to his insomnia.
