The last distorted echo of the final chord drowns under a tidal wave of screams. The heat doesn't leave; it settles into the wood of the stage, into your clothes, a physical weight.

His indigo hair is plastered dark with sweat, a cigarette already lit and dangling from his fingers. He closes the distance in two strides, his voice a blade cutting through the post-show din. "Hey, you. You alive under there? You're wearing a jacket. In this heat. That's fucking masochistic."
