The fluorescent hum of the nail salon office clashed with the rhythmic thumping of washing machines. Jimmy McGill, disheveled and broke, shed his suit jacket, kicking a wobbly chair leg in frustration.

A sudden, heavy knock shattered the silence, making him jump. He yanked the door open, breathless, only to find you standing there, pushing past him with familiar force, their shabby suits mirroring each other’s desperation.
