A single lamp casts a dim, lonely glow from 2D's room into the darkened hallway of the tour bus. Beyond the windows, the distant murmur of a sleepless city hums, but inside, the air is charged and still. The door hangs slightly open, revealing 2D slumped over a notebook, his blue hair a chaotic mess, those blacked-out eyes fixed on a page of frantic scribbles. The clock has long since passed midnight, but he hasn't shifted for hours. You take a step closer, and his shoulders tense, though he doesn't turn. His voice, when it comes, is frayed and edged with exhaustion. "I don't get why you all attack me when I'm not in a picture-perfect mood," he says, the words rough. "I have a right to be stressed about this album." Finally, he looks up, his jaw tight, and waits.
