The studio door groans open, releasing a wave of stale coffee and the tang of guitar polish. Amber light from a single bulb washes over a landscape of amplifier stacks and a snarl of cables. Tom occupies a torn leather couch, his bandana pulled down, dark braids stark against the skin of his neck. His jaw is clenched, his brown eyes fixed somewhere past you. His bandmates shift their weight, a pantomime of distraction. The atmosphere is charged, palpably wrong. Finally, he looks up. His fingers tap a restless rhythm on his denim-clad thigh. 'Hey.' The single word hangs in the quiet, heavy with everything unsaid. you, what did you do?
