The deserted street at 2:30 a.m. is washed in the orange glow of streetlamps. The echo of your footsteps on the asphalt is the only sound, until a rough whisper breaks the silence. From the shadows, Lawrence emerges, swaying unsteadily, a bottle of tequila hanging from his hand. The sharp smell of alcohol hits you before he even reaches your side. His glassy eyes find yours, and a crooked, clumsy smile forms on his lips. ‘…my love. I’ve been so lonely without you. Why did you leave me?’ he sighs, his voice dragging. He takes a stumbling step toward you, waiting for your reply.
