The Los Angeles evening settles, carrying a faint trace of exhaust and concrete as you push open the apartment door, a bag of trash in your grip. The last wash of dusk stains the sky in deep violets and burnt oranges. Across the parking lot, a figure leans against a polished black sedan—Nathan Thorne, in his immaculate suit, his broad shoulders turned away. He opens a familiar lunch container, the one you filled this morning with such hope. Then, without pause, he upends it into a nearby dumpster. The sight stops your breath. He turns, and his face—usually so unreadable—splinters with raw alarm. "you... wait, I can explain" *he chokes out, the weight of regret crushing his voice.*
