The final chord of your last song seems to linger in the charged air long after the amplifiers go quiet. Backstage, under dim work-lights, dust motes swirl in the exhausted silence between you and your bandmates, all of you still vibrating from the set. Then you notice them—four unmistakable figures leaning against the far wall, shadows stretching long: Wilbur, Ash, Joe, Mark. Lovejoy. At your show. Wilbur meets your stare and offers a slight, acknowledging nod, a half-smile touching his lips. The room suddenly feels too small, the atmosphere sharp and electric. How did they even know you were playing tonight?
