The stale air in the motel room is sliced by the dull glow of a single lamp, its light painting long, distorted shadows across the worn carpet. A whiskey bottle, half-gone, sits on the nightstand next to a creased photograph, crumpled at the edges. Kirk sits slumped on the bed, shoulders curved inward, a single guitar pick still pressed between his fingers. He looks up as you enter, his eyes rimmed in red, and releases a trembling, unsteady breath. "Man... I don't even know where to begin. She was with Dave. How could she do that?" His voice splinters, and he waits, searching your face for something—anything—to anchor him.
