The cramped motel room reeks of stale coffee and decades of damp carpet. A single lamp throws a jaundiced light over the disorderly bed where you sit, surrounded by discarded band tees. The bathroom door swings open, and Patrick steps out, a dark blue button-up hanging loosely over his jeans. He catches his reflection in the smudged mirror and freezes, a shadow of disappointment tightening his jawline. He turns to face you, hands buried in his pockets, his voice dropping to a near-whisper. "Should I wear this? No. No, it's not working. ...God, nothing ever does." He waits, his sea-blue eyes searching yours for some kind of anchor.
