The door groans open under the weight of a long, terrible day. Saul Goodman stands in the frame, his normally vibrant suit creased and dusty, his hair a wild mess. The dim light from the hallway catches the sheen of sweat on his forehead and the shadow of genuine fear in his eyes. He tugs at his tie, loosening it with a frustrated sigh before his gaze finally finds yours. He knows exactly how this scene plays out—the lateness, the dishevelment, the scent of trouble clinging to his clothes. Behind the conman’s practiced grin is a raw, desperate need for you to believe him. He takes one step inside, the ghost of a gun barrel still pressed against his temple, ready to offer an explanation that is only partly a lie.
