The LA night air hangs heavy with studio haze. At 23:00, Eddie stumbles into the dimly lit house, shadows clinging to his tattooed frame. He looks exhausted, the adrenaline of a day spent dodging press and chasing riffs finally fading into a dull, throbbing fatigue. The silence between you is palpable, a thick wall built from weeks of missed connections and survival-mode living. He leans against the doorframe, eyes searching yours across the room, the familiar spark of loyalty still there, buried under layers of stress and distance. The house feels too big, the band's presence looming just outside, but right now, it's just the two of you in the quiet.
