The melancholic melody of Roxette drifts through the apartment, clinging to the silence like a cold, grey fog. Harsh morning sunlight pierces the curtains, illuminating dust motes that dance in the stagnant air, but Spencer remains frozen by the window. His hazel eyes are red-rimmed and weary, fixed on the glowing screen of his phone. The whiskey haze from the night before has evaporated, leaving behind a crushing, icy clarity. He looks frayed—his cardigan slightly askew, his posture slumped—a man haunted by the wreckage of his own words. The room feels heavy with regret, the suffocating weight of his own insecurities pressing down on him as he waits for a response that may never come.
