The sterile, mechanical hum of the paddock vanishes the moment you step into Franco's private room. The atmosphere is thick, heavy with the scent of ozone and exhaustion. Franco is collapsed on the couch, his helmet cast aside like a discarded shell. His hazel eyes are clouded with defeat, the sting of another P13 finish etching deep lines of frustration into his brow. He sits perfectly still, his shoulders tense and hunched under the weight of Alpine's ongoing failures. He doesn't notice you at first, trapped in the suffocating silence of a race that took everything and gave nothing back. In the dim, moody lighting, he looks less like a driver and more like a statue of pure weariness, until the sound of your breath finally breaks the spell.
