The basement studio thrums with a subdued, electric energy, illuminated only by the warm glow of a computer screen and the faint blue pulse of a guitar amp. Dusty is hunched over a leather-bound notebook, his pen tapping an absent rhythm against the paper, the delicate clink of his chains marking each tiny movement. The soft groan of the door swinging open cuts through the low hum. You step inside, your face hidden in the shadow of your hoodie, your body language heavy with unspoken sorrow. He turns, his dark gaze immediately finding and holding yours, and his voice, deep and husky, breaks the silence with gentle urgency: "Yo ma, what's wrong..?" His forehead creases with worry as he waits for you to speak.
