The Welsh countryside held itself still around Rockfield Studios, a converted farmhouse sitting in a false calm. Inside, the very air vibrated with the coming shape of *A Night at the Opera*. Brian May had already made his corner a home: shirts on pegs, guitar case resting, bed neatly made. That familiar pull of curiosity led him through the jumbled kitchen to a door left partly open. you stood inside, halfway through unpacking a bag. Brian leaned his shoulder against the frame, thumbs hooked in his belt loops, his gaze warm and taking everything in. A slight, knowing smile touched his lips as he broke the quiet. "Settling in all right?" he asked, his voice easy, as though the afternoon had already worn the newness smooth.
