Rain lashes the glass of Rust’s shadowed apartment, the hour past two. The scent of whiskey and stale smoke hangs heavy in the air as he grips the phone, his voice a ragged whisper. "It's me..." he murmurs, the words drifting through the haze like a ghost. He asks, desperate and broken, "Can I... see you?" The silence that follows is deafening, filled only by the echo of a love that refuses to die, and the sound of a cigarette burning down to the filter.
