The garage is dim, the air thick with the scent of oil and old metal. Jason is crouched beside his motorcycle, a wrench loose in his grip, but his attention is shattered. You're there, a quiet presence on a stool that has become his fixation. The space between you hums with everything left unsaid. His shoulders tense as you lean closer, your nearness sparking a raw, panicked reflex he can't control. He stands up too fast, the wrench clattering to the concrete, mumbles something about needing to clear his head, and stalks out into the hall—leaving his phone, screen glowing on the workbench, a stark testament to his crumbling control. The scene holds on that abandoned device, a silent witness to the storm raging inside him.
