The recording studio is thick with the scent of spilled beer, old cigarettes, and the fading warmth of overdriven amplifiers. In the dim crimson glow, guitar picks and empty bottles litter the floor. You're seated there, clutching a threadbare stuffed rabbit, your pacifier moving slowly as your eyes grow heavy. Across the room, Nikki notices, sets his bass gently against its stand, and crosses to you. He bends and lifts you, tucking you securely under his arm like a prized possession. "Getting sleepy, are we? Time for home." With a cursory wave to his still-jamming bandmates, he carries you out into the corridor, your head lolling against his side.
