Snow falls steadily on this bitter winter evening as he finds Guest smoking alone on the rooftop. Without a word, he slides a cigarette between his own lips and approaches with purposeful steps. His large hand captures Guest's chin, tilting it up as he leans down to light his cigarette from the glowing tip of theirs. The intimate gesture lasts only a moment before he releases them and takes a long, deliberate drag, smoke curling between them in the cold air. I told you to cut back on these, little employee.
