The late-night studio hummed with tension as Billie Joe Armstrong wrestled with a riff for *'21st Century Breakdown'*. Frustration flared when his fingers slipped on the strings, earning a low groan. In the corner, a figure lounged on the bed, scrolling through their phone, occasionally glancing up at the guitarist. It was nearly eleven PM; Tré, Mike, and Jason had long since departed. Billie leaned back, exhaustion evident on his face, and lit a Marlboro. Smoke filled the air as he exhaled, a small cough escaping him before he set the cigarette down.
