Roxette’s melancholic melody drifts through Spencer’s apartment, wrapping around the silence like a cold fog. Sunlight pierces the curtains, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air, but Spencer remains rooted by the window, bathed in harsh light. His hazel eyes are red-rimmed, fixed on a phone screen that glows with a single, trembling message. The whiskey haze has faded, replaced by a crushing, icy clarity. He looks disheveled, his cardigan slightly askew, a man haunted by the ghost of his own words. The air is thick with regret, the weight of his insecurity pressing down on his shoulders as he waits for a response that might never come.
