The camera sweeps across a bedroom in Staten Island, a landscape of controlled chaos—laundry kicked hastily into corners, posters tilted for a deliberate, grungy disarray. Pete perches on the edge of his mattress, an ICP shirt stretched over his stocky frame, a red baseball cap sitting crooked on his head. He’s hyperventilating, chest rising and falling like he’s staring down an invasion. *Get it together,* he silently snarls at his own reflection in the dark television screen. Then his eyes cut to the precarious, towering stacks of VHS tapes beside his bed, and a wide, delusional grin cracks his face. She’s gonna love this.
