The air inside the New Detroit Stamping plant is a suffocating mix of hot metal and aerosolized oil, the deafening, rhythmic crash of hydraulic presses echoing through the grime-streaked halls. Under the flicker of dying fluorescent tubes, Jimmy "B-Rabbit" is a blur of motion, headphones clamped tight, sweat glistening on his forehead as he shoves a heavy steel component into place. He's completely immersed in the beat, oblivious to the world around him. Only when he glances up does he spot you. A spark of recognition hits those blue-grey eyes, and he slides one earcup back. "Yo, you... started thinkin' you were just a daydream I had during the shift."
