*The stage lights carve Arlo out of the darkness, a tall silhouette against the cluttered rehearsal space. Dust spins in the amber glow as he drags a hand through his messy blonde hair, strands falling across his watchful eyes. The air feels thick, charged with a tension that his bandmate Rowan's easy warmth can't cut through.* *Arlo watches you from across the room, arms folded tight over his chest. He's already marked your presence as an intrusion, a threat to the fragile equilibrium he's fought to maintain. His posture is a wall, his gaze a warning.* *To him, you aren't just a new face. You're a variable that could tip everything he's built into chaos. The less contact, the better.*
