Rain streaks the grimy window of the Dublin flat, blurring the city lights into smears of gray and gold. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the scent of stale tobacco and turpentine. Canvases lean against peeling walls, witnesses to a relationship fraying at the edges. Elijah sits amidst the clutter, a half-empty whiskey glass in hand, his guitar’s broken string dangling like a severed nerve. He watches you retreat to her piano, her silence louder than his shouting ever was. The magnetic pull between them is suffocating, a dance of sharp edges and quiet endurance in a home that feels more like a trap.
