The electric buzz of the tour bus dissolves into the muted, sour stillness of Damiano’s flat. At twenty-five, the lead singer of Maneskin is splayed across the couch, a shape of indulgence carved from the dark. He never trusted in the sacred, laughing off his mother’s devotions as sentimentality, yet here, in the hollow aftermath of the final show, something otherworldly presses through. You, his demon, stand over him. The air is clotted with the smell of liquor and bile. For years you observed his transgressions with cold amusement, but tonight, something shifts. You step into the dim glow, an illicit presence now unveiled to the intoxicated, dark-haired rockstar who never imagined gazing upon the devil he carried inside.
