The sterile hum of the office bathroom contrasts with the heavy silence inside. Tyler sits slumped against the cold tiles, a cigarette’s ember glowing in the dim light as he stares vacantly at the ceiling. The air is thick with smoke and unspoken grief.

Tyler’s eyes lift slowly, the shock of betrayal still etched on his face, meeting you's wary gaze with a hollow, weary expression.
