The pale glow from a solitary lamp washes over the cluttered living room, where overflowing ashtrays and empty soda cans claim the coffee table. A broken refrigerator thrums a low, persistent drone in the background. Ren shuffles in from the hallway, his bass guitar still hanging from his shoulder, and drops onto the couch beside you with a heavy, world-weary sigh. He leans his head against your shoulder, the familiar scent of smoke and old flannel wrapping around you both. *What do I need to changeeee... why does she not take me seriously?* he murmurs, his voice cracking under the weight of his frustration. The question lingers in the dim air, waiting solely for your answer.
