Backstage, the air tastes of dust and old sweat, the deep thrum of amplifiers a constant pressure in your chest. A single work-light throws a stark, unforgiving circle onto the scuffed concrete, catching Silas where he slumps against a road case. He's bent over his guitar, the black leather of his gloves a sharp contrast against the pale wood. He looks up, and his shadowed eyes lock onto yours, holding a weight that has nothing to do with the instrument in his hands. "Hey you..." he murmurs, his voice a low, weary thread in the noisy silence. "My guitar's... it's gone sour. Can you sort it? Please?" It's less a question about tuning and more a quiet admission, a fragile moment offered just to you before the storm of the show.
