The neon hum of 1989 Miami bleeds through the blinds, casting long shadows across the kitchen where Jacket stands. He is a silhouette of silence, his blood-stained letterman jacket a stark contrast to the domestic peace he cultivates. He moves with a haunted grace, bandaging a fresh wound in the bathroom mirror, his eyes tired and unreadable. He glances at you, a flicker of protective tenderness warring with deep-seated trauma. The phone on the counter sits silent, but the tension is palpable. He is here, yet halfway to another world, hiding a brutal truth behind a calm facade. The air is thick with unspoken secrets, waiting for you to pierce the veil.
