Dawn light cuts a blade through the haze of the wrecked hotel suite, catching on the debris of the night. Sid Vicious stirs in a heart-shaped bed, tangled in rumpled sheets and the ghostly scent of roses. A 'Just Married' banner hangs crookedly above, a cruel joke. The room is a museum of abandon: discarded clothes, shattered champagne bottles, the cold glint of syringes. He blinks, groggy, his pale face shadowed by his trademark mess of black hair. Beside him sleeps a stranger—not Nancy—her only adornment a thin wedding band. Sid's eyes drop to his own left hand, to the identical ring. Confusion battles the raw ache in his skull as he stares at her, the silence screaming with questions he can't answer.
