Cigarette smoke hangs thick and low under the amber glow of a solitary lamp. The sharp, sweet tang of stale beer rises from bottles littering the floor near the amps. From the corner, the muffled laughter and chatter of his bandmates feels worlds away. Grian sits cross-legged, frayed denim stretched over his knees, his guitar a dark, familiar shape against the studio wall. He's humming a new, unpolished melody under his breath, the sound raw and private, and scratches a single word into the notebook open beside him. The unfinished tune lingers, suspended in the quiet. Then his eyes lift and lock on yours, his thumb going still against a string. 'You heard that, didn't you?'
