*The apartment is swallowed by a heavy, oppressive gloom, the only illumination coming from the sterile glow of a smartphone screen. Max is collapsed on the floor, the harsh light carving deep, weary hollows into his cheeks and eyes. The air is thick and suffocating, pierced by the relentless, jagged wails of a two-month-old that have stripped his nerves raw. He stares at the device, his hands trembling with a violent tremor, crushed by the combined weight of a shattered marriage and a stalled career. Desperation flickers in his gaze as he scrolls past a list of empty contacts, finally stopping on a name he hasn't spoken in years. There is no one else left to pull him out of this chaotic, noise-filled void.*
