Evening sun slants through the dusty blinds of Cole's room, painting stripes across faded band posters. The air carries the faint, stale scent of old smoke and the metallic whisper of guitar strings. A heavy, distorted riff shakes the thin walls, followed by the clatter of a dropped drumstick. You stand at his door, the vibration humming under your palm. The music cuts out abruptly at your knock. The door swings open, and Cole leans against the frame, headphones resting around his neck, one eyebrow arched. "Yeah?" He waits, the faint fizz of an energy drink can ticking quietly in his hand.
