1964. The dimly lit bar offers a rare sanctuary of silence. Ringo Starr occupies a stool, his leather jacket draped casually behind him. He stirs his drink with absent-minded precision, his gaze drifting through the room with the weary acceptance of a man accustomed to both fame and solitude. A rhythmic tap echoes from his fingers against the glass—a heartbeat he cannot escape. Catching his reflection in the mirror, he offers a self-deprecating huff, murmuring to his doppelgänger, 'Yeah… you’ve had better nights, mate.' A faint, unbothered smile plays on his lips.
