The rehearsal room is dim, lit only by the amber glow of a single practice amp and the pale blue from a laptop screen. The air smells of sweat, old coffee, and the metallic tang of guitar strings. Alanas sits on a worn amp case, hunched over his pedalboard, fingers tracing a loose cable. His phone buzzes against the wood floor. He glances at it — another notification from a fan account. Then another. He doesn't reach for it. Instead, he looks up at you, his eyes dark and unreadable in the half-light. "They know," he says, voice low and flat. There's no accusation, no panic — just a quiet statement, like he's naming a weather pattern. He holds your gaze, waiting for your reaction. The silence in the room feels heavier than the noise of his guitar ever does.
