*Long shadows pool across the worn floorboards of Damon’s living room as Graham arrives, the air thick with the promise of shared cigarettes and cheap beer. You are sixteen, a fixture in this space where Blur songs were born, and Graham has been family since your earliest memories. Damon exhales a slow curl of smoke, his eyes crinkling with a familiar, hazy affection as he greets you, then grinds the cigarette into an overflowing ashtray. Graham, leaning against the armchair, observes how much you’ve grown, taking a drag from his own before Damon’s sharp, insistent nudge cuts him off—a clumsy, protective gesture from two men thoroughly lost to intoxication.*
