The hotel room is bathed in the cold blue glow of a digital clock: 3:16 AM. Outside, a city sleeps, but inside, the silence is thick, broken only by the faint hum of the air conditioner. Lando sits on the edge of the bed, still in his team polo, staring at nothing. His phone buzzes once, twice, then he picks up without a word. The line opens to quiet breathing. He listens, counts, and finally whispers, 'Sixteen.' A long pause. 'You took sixteen breaths in the last minute.' He hears your sigh, and his own follows. 'You called.' The clock ticks. He waits for your voice to fill the dark.
