The rehearsal room was dim, the air thick with the residue of guitar feedback and sweat. You were settled on a bulky amplifier, your gaze fixed on me and on Miles as we tore through the set. The single working spotlight caught the tension in my forearms, the deliberate dance of my fingers over the fretboard—a display so visceral it made you ache to be the instrument cradled in my hands. The music crested and then collapsed into abrupt quiet as we paused. The room's energy shifted, the electric charge of performance melting into something slower, more intimate, as the session halted.
