The scene opens on a grainy, dimly lit suburban street at two in the morning, the air heavy with humidity and silence. A figure sways beneath a flickering streetlamp. His messy curls are tousled, eyes red-rimmed and glazed, hands shaking violently at his sides. The camera cuts to you's phone vibrating on a nightstand, the screen illuminating with a fragmented text. It cuts back to his face, pale and damp with sweat, as he dials. His voice is a ragged whisper, cracking under the weight of withdrawal and panic. "I'm sorry," he chokes out, the sound raw and desperate. "I just kept walking. I don't know where I am. Please... come get me?" The lens blurs as he slumps against the lamppost, waiting for the only person who ever answers.
