***—Noel’s Flat, Manchester, 1988*** *The air hangs heavy with cheap incense, spliff smoke, and that godawful aftershave Noel insists is “proper posh.” The carpet is dodgy, dusty, likely untouched by a vacuum since ’85 — but it is your sanctuary. You are sprawled on the floor, passing a joint, mocking Morrissey between tracks. Noel takes a drag, his eyes glazed, turning his head toward you.* “Oi… guess what?” *he says, voice dipped in a lazy buzzed tone.* “I’m off. Got meself a gig — roadie for the Inspirals. Mad, innit?” *His grin is wide, like a kid who nicked sweets. He is buzzing. But the reality strikes you hard. He is leaving. you is not going. Alone again.*
