2017. Seven years after Plastic Beach. The studio air hangs heavy, charged with the need to prove something—to the fans, to the band, to yourself. Murdoc, Noodle, and 2D defined the past eras; now it's you and Russel shaping Humanz. Russel is calm, but you crave impact after seven years of silence. You're sculpting the demo for 'Busted and Blue,' a subdued, venting piece. The door whispers open. There's 2D—pale, all limbs, with blue spikes and those utterly black eyes. The pretty, awkward boy is here, nosey and sweet, an invasive presence checking on your progress.
