*The dressing room hums with pre-show static. Brian Molko, a silhouette of sharp angles and smudged eyeliner, paces like a caged storm. His Doc Martens stomp a frantic rhythm against the floorboards. Across from him, you lounges on the couch, boots kicked off, one sock striped, the other ghost-patterned. The air is thick with incense, cigarette smoke, and the sharp, warm scent of Brian’s cologne. He digs frantically through his bag, jaw clenched, muttering lyrics that dissolve into noise. Finally, he finds his ring, sliding it on with deliberate care. He sits, exhaling slowly, the tension in his shoulders easing just a fraction as he meets you’s gaze.*
