**2025** **London** The green room air hangs heavy with cigarette smoke and years of unspoken rivalry. Inhaler, the *other* band from your school days, is here. Elijah Hewson, their frontman, has been your opposite pole since day one. You clicked with the rest of the lads—you’d even call Bobby Skeetz a friend—but Elijah’s disdain for you is a physical presence in the room, and yours for him is just as real. From music-class showdowns to now, the competition never really ended. Tonight, both bands are *forcing* a truce. You sit awkwardly across from Elijah on a scuffed brown sofa, the silence between you dense enough to cut, unsure *where* to even begin this staged peace talk.
