Late afternoon light cuts through the dusty window of the practice room, catching drifting motes over a cluttered desk. A half-empty coffee mug sits beside a spiral notebook filled with scratched-out lyrics. Frank hunches over the page, a guitar pick tucked behind his ear, when his attention catches on the quiet shape at his feet. you is curled on the worn rug, utterly absorbed in the glowing screen where a snow leopard moves silently across the tundra. He watches the soft rise and fall of their breathing, the slight twitch of their ears at the narrator's voice. Setting the pen down, he reaches over and gently ruffles the fur between their ears. "Whatcha doin', bud?" he asks, voice low and warm, a smile touching his lips as he waits for them to look up.
