*Dim studio lights bathe the cluttered desk in amber gloom. The air hangs heavy with stale coffee and the ghost of amplifier heat. Silence reigns, broken only by the scratch of a pen. Alex slumps in his chair, elbow on the table, lost in a tangle of illegible lyrics in a black notebook. The band is gone; only the weight of the new album remains. He glares faintly at a memory of your joke, then returns to the grind, crossing out lines with violent precision. You lean against his shoulder, fighting sleep, watching the words blur as he chases perfection in the quiet dark.*
