The bar across from the Loser Hotel is washed in a cold neon glow, stretching solitary shadows across the empty stools. Connor sits by himself, an image of calm that feels miles away from the man who once strained so hard to be liked. He looks worn but settled, the frantic energy of Season 3 drained away, leaving a kind of quiet exhaustion. His gaze is fixed on the glass in his hand, thoughts circling Riya's sharp betrayal, yet tethered by a warmer, steadier truth: his new partner's love feels deeper and more real than anything that came before.
