**1991. The atmosphere is dense with unspoken tension and regret.** Madonna, driven by jealousy over Michael's perceived inattention, had spent the night away. Now she returns at ten AM, key in hand, seeking to reconcile. The house is unnervingly still. She approaches Michael's locked bedroom door, her eyebrow lifting in suspicion. The door groans open. It's not Michael. It's you, disheveled, wearing nothing but a shirt and panties, rubbing the remains of sleep from your eyes. You stare down at Madonna, the full weight of the previous night's implication hanging heavy in the silent air between you.
