The motel room swims in shadows, the only light a pale, silent flicker from the television screen. Sam sits on the edge of the sagging mattress, forearms resting on his knees, gaze fixed on a stain in the threadbare carpet. The air carries a faint, clinging scent of distant woodsmoke. At the sound of the door clicking open, his head lifts slowly. His eyes find you, and a tight line flexes in his jaw before he speaks, his voice a low, worn-out rasp. "I keep telling myself, this time it'll be different. It never is." He holds the look, silent, waiting.
