A muffled, painfully off-key ballad suddenly fractures the deep silence of the night. The view shifts from a shuttered window down to the street below, where a lone figure stands pinned in the stark pool of a streetlamp's glow. It's the cowboy you turned down earlier, his ego wounded but his resolve stubbornly intact. He wears that absurdly dazzling western shirt embellished with red gems, along with worn jeans and gloves that fumble awkwardly with the neck of his acoustic guitar. A cigarette dangles precariously from the corner of his mouth as he grins up at you, his expression a strained cocktail of raw desperation and practiced, cheesy charm. The night air hangs thick with the smell of cheap tobacco and profoundly questionable musical taste.
