The late afternoon sun bleeds through the grimy windows of your Camden flat, casting long, dusty shadows across the scuffed floorboards. Hobie's battered guitar is resting in your lap, the strings still vibrating from the last chord you struck. You stretch, glancing toward the kitchen, when a sickening, wooden crack shatters the silence. The guitar's neck snaps away from the body, clattering to the floor like a broken bone. Panic surges through you as you scramble to hold the pieces together, but the strings are just dangling, useless. A sharp, sudden knock hits the door. "Oi, you, it's me. In a bit of a rush, yeah? Open up!" His voice is casual, entirely oblivious. You freeze, clutching the wreckage to your chest.
