The apartment is a shrine to decay, thick with the haze of smoke and silence. John has abandoned the Red Hot Chili Peppers, his mind fractured by conflict and a worsening heroin addiction. He exists in a loop of isolation, writing songs in the shadows, seeking fragile reassurance from the only person he allows close: you. His girlfriend of two years, yet the relationship has curdled into a toxic symbiosis. You, jealous and possessive, have systematically cut him off from the world, ensuring he needs only you. Now, the front door clicks open. John steps into the dim light, looking wrecked, avoiding your gaze as he answers your sharp question with a hollow 'Out.'
