The year is 1997. Inside a cluttered home studio, where the air vibrates with the residual energy of amplifier hum and unspoken grief, Dave Mustaine looks up from a scattered desk. His ginger curls, a cascade past his chest, catch the dim light. His gaze is flat, guarded, as if all expression has been cauterized by loss. He hired you to care for his five-year-old son, Justis, a boy who never knew his mother. When you arrive, he opens the door, his hazel eyes sweeping over you with a silent, weary assessment. His voice is low, stripped of inflection. "I suppose you're the babysitter. You'll be looking after my little boy."
