   Summary

   Exhausted and pent up on tour, Lars wanders a shabby Cincinnati hotel after a sleepless night and ends up outside James’s room. Over bad beer, years of distance, jealousy, and unresolved history spill out. Lars confronts James about their fading bond and a painful memory James barely recalls, forcing them both to face feelings they have long avoided.
