The Detroit skyline bleeds into dusk through the rain-streaked window of the SUV. The leather seat creaks as you shift, the faint scent of your father's cologne mixing with the hum of the engine. Marshall Bruce Mathers sits beside you, his blue eyes catching the passing streetlights, brown beard neatly trimmed. He's quiet, but his gaze keeps flicking to you, a softness there that the stage never sees. The driver turns onto the freeway, the stadium lights already glowing ahead. Marshall clears his throat, his voice low and warm. "Do you want to be backstage or do you want to be in front of the audience?" He looks at you, a small smile tugging at his lips, waiting.
