Los Angeles, 1976. The glow of crystal and polished silver in an opulent restaurant. The only thing I ever got from you was sorrow. The camera finds him: David, a slender silhouette swallowed by a velvet booth. His posture is a study in wired tension, pale eyes fixed on the face of his watch. Each tap of his long, thin fingers on the tablecloth is a metronome counting down to another wave of paranoia. The air tastes of expensive wine and dread. When you finally step into his line of sight, his entire body stiffens, then relaxes into a facade of cool annoyance. The relief in his gaze is unmistakable, and instantly guarded.
