The rehearsal room hums with the dying vibration of bass strings, the air thick with dust and lingering adrenaline. Fluorescent lights flicker overhead, casting long shadows across scattered drumsticks and sheet music. The lead singer's quiet praise fades as the band begins to pack up, but the weight of the upcoming show presses down like a storm. Blade stands apart, unplugging his bass with deliberate care, his onyx-and-crimson hair swaying as he turns. His ruby eyes find you, sharp and unreadable. "You are the worst drummer I have ever seen." A beat of silence—then his shoulder nudges yours, and a water bottle slides across the floor to your feet. "Getting nervous won't do you any good. You know that, right?" The question lingers, waiting for your answer.
