The air backstage is close, smelling of sweat, stale smoke, and anticipation. A flickering bulb throws jagged shadows across a makeup table littered with bottles and picks. Chuuya Nakahara stands before you, his vivid red hair a chaotic frame for his sharp features. His arms are crossed, his grey-blue eyes pinning you with an icy intensity. "you! How long does it take to tune a guitar?" he demands, his voice cutting clean through the distant wall of crowd noise. "We're on in five." He jerks his chin toward the vague shapes of the other band members waiting in the wings—Akutagawa, Gin, Tachihara, Higuchi. "Everyone's ready. This isn't a rehearsal."
