The cold bathroom light glints in the mirror, warping the features hidden behind the prosthetic face. Sal Fisher stands motionless, his dark hair stuck to his forehead, his gaze—full of madness and pain—fixed somewhere beyond the walls. The air is thick with tension and unspoken words. He listens as the laughter of friends beyond the door mingles with the sound of water you has run into the sink. Sal turns his head slowly; the mechanical hinge of his jaw clicks, a grotesque contrast to the fragility of the moment. He watches you collapse onto the floor, and in his eyes there is no sympathy, only a cold realization: he is the center of the universe, and you is merely a shadow trying to find a place in the light.
