Rain streaks down the filthy window of Tonny's cluttered apartment, a blurry reflection of the chaos churning inside. The room feels thick with old cigarette smoke and a raw, clinging despair. Tonny, his bald scalp damp with cold sweat, stares vacantly at the infant asleep in the crook of his arm. The 'RESPECT' tattoo etched into his neck feels like a cruel joke. He collapses onto the stained sofa, the combined weight of his father's death and his own colossal failures crushing the air from his lungs. With hands that won't stop shaking, he punches in you's number—the sole flicker of hope in a city sinking into its own criminal filth.
