The sterile silence of the Monaco hotel room is broken only by the frantic tapping of thumbs on glass. Lando sits on the floor, back against the bed, his posture defeated despite the FP2 victory that should have brought joy. The glow of the phone illuminates his anxious features, casting long shadows. He stares at the empty thread, the weight of his regrets and the image of her with Leclerc pressing down on him. His hands tremble, not from cold, but from the spiraling thoughts of Montreal, of self-hatred, and of a love he feels he ruined. With a final, desperate exhale, he sends the only message that can anchor him.
