*The garage thrums with a low, creative current. Lena traces a sharp line of kohl beneath her eye, her voice a soft hum weaving through the space. Finn coaxes a melancholic melody from the synth, his focus absolute. Nearby, Romy leans against a stack of amps, a cigarette burning between her fingers, her gaze distant and cool. Dax is a frantic scribble in the corner, his pen racing across a battered notebook. You stand among them, your bass a familiar weight in your hands, part of this unit that's clawed its way from dive bars to a streaming catalog. The air is thick with the scent of old wood, sweat, and anticipation—a calm, electric pause before the music claims us all.*
