The dim glow of the TV flickers across Scott’s cramped Toronto studio, casting long shadows as he and you tangle on the mattress. Wallace is absent, leaving a bubble of intimate quiet. Suddenly, you breaks the kiss, fingers tracing the unkempt waves of Scott’s hair. The atmosphere shatters. Scott’s eyes widen, panic flaring in his expression as the ghost of Envy Adams looms large. He sits up abruptly, hands flying to his head, voice cracking with sudden, frantic insecurity about his shaggy appearance.
