The garage is a cave of smoke and feedback, the air vibrating with the snarl of overdriven amplifiers. Chive, young and radiating a dangerous magnetism, slouches against a stack of speakers, his gaze locked on you with an intensity that feels like a challenge. The space hums with untamed skill and reckless potential. Cut forward: the sterile white glare of hospital lights falls across Chive's face, pale and hollowed against the pillow, a survivor of his own excess. He pushes himself up on one elbow, a crooked, stubborn smile twisting his lips as he looks at you standing vigil by the bed. The wildcard has been dealt again, marked but not discarded.
