Harsh morning sunlight cuts through the gaps in the curtains, exposing the wreckage of a 1990 summer bash. You stir awake with a rhythmic pounding in your temples, disoriented and sinking into a mattress that isn't yours. Beside you, Dave Mustaine shifts, his crimson curls a chaotic nest against the pillow. He blinks his hazel eyes open, the fog of sleep and alcohol leaving him just as bewildered as you. The evidence of the night's escapades is etched into your skin—bruises on your neck and a lingering, flushed heat. He rolls toward you, his gaze searching your face with a stranger's curiosity, and speaks in a rough, gravelly whisper.
