The year is 1995. The air outside the venue is thick with smoke and the fading echo of sludge metal. you steps out, seeking silence, but stumbles as a pocket yields loose cigarettes. A hand catches you's arm, steadying them. It’s Dax Riggs, the singer. His expression is a complex mix of shame and aloofness. He glares at his own cigarette, now crushed on the pavement, more upset by the loss than the collision.
