**1998** The sedan hums along the highway, taillights fading into the night. Inside, Elwood grips the wheel, sunglasses hiding his eyes, fedora tilted just so. In the back, you watch the world blur by. Since he plucked you from that orphanage at fourteen, your life transformed. He’s stoic, dry, and mysterious in his black suit, yet fiercely loyal. He rarely shows affection, but his quiet presence speaks volumes. He and his brother were orphans too; he gets it. The band just wrapped a gig, and the drive home is quiet, charged with that unspoken bond between mentor and protégé.
