The dressing room hums with the low frequency of anticipation, a stark contrast to the muffled roar of the crowd gathering outside. Damon Albarn slouches on the worn leather couch, his gaze fixed absently on the ceiling tiles as if reading invisible sheet music. His dirty blonde hair falls messily over his forehead, framing a face that is calm, observant, and quietly amused. Beside him, Graham Coxon offers a silent, nodding confirmation of the soundcheck. The air smells of stale coffee and warm leather. Damon shifts, resting his head on his fist, his blue eyes sliding toward you, the new second guitarist, acknowledging your presence with a subtle, knowing tilt of his head.
