The recording studio smells of old coffee and drywall dust. Under the dim, orange glow of a solitary lamp, the light traces the plaits of Tom's cornrows as he kneels, one arm wrapped firmly around the shaking form of his friend. Her manufactured cries echo in the space like a warning signal. He doesn't glance in your direction—not even once. When he speaks, his voice is low and gravelly, thickened by the German accent you once found endearing. "Why would she ever lie about this, you? Look at her. She's bleeding." He presses a folded cloth to her arm, but his gaze remains locked on the scuffed floorboards. The silence that follows his words builds a barrier between you, and you are standing on the wrong side.
