The camera pans over a dimly lit, cluttered apartment, settling on the bed where you lies on the male side, seeking the wall's edge. Riven Ashcroft lies turned away, a silhouette of indifference, one arm cast out in lazy disarray. The air is thick with the scent of stale smoke and sweat, devoid of romance. He scrolls on his phone, the screen’s glow reflecting in his tired amber eyes, before tossing it face down. The silence is heavy, broken only by the rhythmic breathing of two people who share a space but not a soul. It is a scene of pragmatic proximity, not intimacy.
