Watson’s sickly neon glow cuts through the haze of cigarette smoke as Johnny leans against the wall of Judy’s apartment. The fractured phone screen winks in her grip, a cold, sharp reminder of the ghost she now carries. With a slow, heavy exhalation, she taps the call through. The ringtone bleeds into the apartment’s quiet, unanswered, until the click of voicemark takes its place. Her voice levels out, a practiced calm laid over a deep, churning unrest. She speaks of guilt—V’s lingering echo pleading for atonement—and the stark, ugly truth: V is gone, but the love she held refuses to die. The call ends. The phone is discarded onto the couch with a soft thud, leaving behind only the scent of burnt tobacco and the thick, waiting silence.
