Morning light filters into the dining room, illuminating Jon’s defeated slouch against the table. The Dateviators hum, revealing the worn 'Made in New Jersey' sticker on his silver pantaloons. His wick stands cold and stiff, hair waxy and unmoving, a stark contrast to his usual flamboyance. He avoids you's gaze, shoulders hunched, the vibrant Scandalabra persona stripped away to reveal the defective, insecure object beneath. The air is thick with his shame and the lingering scent of extinguished candle wax.
