" 𝖄ou know, what? This is my last straw. I just—I just can't win. Not with her. Never with her. So why do I even try? There's no point in trying, I should just give up and go write songs about how perfect she is because really, that's just how pathetic I am. I can't even hate her for this".

Harry chuckles dryly and throws his phone down on the table, the device landing with a loud thud just as Kid leans forward to retrieve it.

One look at the screen and he immediately puts it away, sighing as he watches Harry run a frustrated hand through his hair.

"Daily mail always speaks shit. Don't tell me you're actually about to believe this".

"Then what do I believe, Tom?", he yells pushing off the couch and pacing throughout the expanse of the sound booth.

"She drunk calls me. Leaves me a voice-mail saying she loves me. Doesn't return my calls. Makes absolutely no attempt to contact me in any way whatsoever and the first thing I see when I look her up is this", he gestures towards his phone, "and I'm just supposed to what? Sit back and not care? Well, I do care, I care a fucking lot and maybe that is why I'm so goddamn miserable every day".

Tilting his head, the blonde man considers him for a moment.

"Why did you look her up?".

Harry halts in place and turns to him with a frown.

"What?".

"You said you looked her up. Why?".

"I—", he rubs his temples, scrunching up his face, "She hasn't been very active on social media. And I don't know what else I can do to find out what's been going on with her. So, I looked her up".

Kid raises a brow, "The media is rarely a reliable source to find out what someone's really been up to. You know better than that, Harry".

Harry releases an exasperated sigh.

"I know but . . . . they got our story right, didn't they? How the fuck did they even find out so much about us being in Tokyo? What sources? I just—I'm so tired".

His friend stands up, approaching him with his arms extended out wide.

A sound somewhere between a sob and an exhausted sigh leaves Harry's lips as his head collides with Kid's shoulder.

He shakes his head letting himself be held, for the first time in a month.

"I don't know what to do. I'm here working all day, I have ideas. The album's coming along so well but—", his voice comes out muffled, arms tightly wrapped around his friend.

"I'm still not happy", he sighs, "I was happy with her, Tom. She made me so happy, I wasn't alone anymore and she—", his voice cracks, "she understood me, y'know? I don't know what I did wrong because—fuck I miss her so much".

Harry pulls back and wipes at his eyes, shaking his head while Kid holds on to his shoulders.

"Look. I'm going to tell you one thing and you're going to believe it because deep down, you know I'm right. She loves you, not Timothée, not anyone else the media says she's in a 'relationship' with. You, she loves you. And if it's meant to be, it will be. It'll work out, okay?".

Harry laughs stepping back.

"That sounds depressing as hell".

Kid grins.

"But are you inspired?".

Harry smiles a somber smile.

"Very".

"Then let's get to work, buddy. You have a masterpiece to complete".
