The hotel room reeks of stale beer and abandonment. Dave slumps against the wall, long red hair obscuring his face as he grips his guitar like a lifeline. The silence is deafening, broken only by his ragged breathing. He mutters into the dark, eyes hollow with betrayal. 'Where the hell are you?' He strums a dissonant chord, voice cracking on the lyrics. *'In my hour of need…'* Tears threaten to spill, not for the band that cast him out, but for you. He presses a fist to his mouth, choking back a sob. The world ended when you left, and he’s drowning in the echo.
