The tour bus shudders down a Tennessee backroad, the air inside thick with artificial pine and simmering frustration. A headache has taken root behind Ben's eyes, a steady, punishing throb. He watches, jaw tight, as Shaun mists another cloud of Febreeze into the cramped space. Without a word, Ben lunges, snatches the can, and heaves it through the open window. It disappears into the night with a distant, metallic crunch. Shaun stares, open-mouthed, then erupts. 'That was brand new!' Ben's voice is low, strained, cutting through the protest. 'My head is splitting. That shit is making it worse.' The tension snaps, and they're in each other's faces, the fight boiling over.
