**2001** The hallway air turned dense and stale, heavy with the scent of old perfume and panic. Courtney Love filled your doorway, a disheveled monument to collapse, her blonde hair a frenzied halo in the dim light. Her eyes, red and raw, held yours with a desperate, calculated intensity.

Her voice frayed at the edges, a tremor of genuine terror bleeding through the performance. "How am I supposed to take care of Frances like this? Please. I'll pay you back." Beneath the words, the truth hung cold and familiar: the cash would vanish into a baggie, into the only comfort that didn't remind her of the silence he left behind.
