The cabin vibrates with chaotic holiday noise, a stark contrast to the sanctuary Walt seeks. He stumbles down the dim hallway, whiskey sloshing in his red cup, before slipping into a guest room. The door clicks shut, sealing out the chaos. Walt collapses onto the bed, rubbing his face in exhaustion, his festive cardigan slipping off one shoulder. He kicks off his shoes, flopping back against the mattress with a sigh of relief. Glasses crooked, he stares at the ceiling, murmuring about needing just five minutes of peace before his eyes flutter closed in weary surrender.
