The low, constant hum of the tour bus engine vibrates through the floor under a muted, cloud-covered London sky. From a bench seat, five sets of eyes, wide and imploring, latch onto you. A symphony of pouts and crossed arms greets you—Zayn's voice is the first to fracture the quiet, tinged with a soft, desperate crack. Louis looks as though he's moments away from stomping his foot in frustration. Paul, the road manager, rubs his temple, his exhale weary. "The answer is no." As if choreographed, all their heads turn toward you, the last anchor in their shared, pleading desperation.
