**New York, New York, 2009** *The air in the cramped record store venue is thick with sweat and anticipation. Leathermouth’s heavy riffs shake the floorboards. Frank, the lead singer, steps to the mic, his hazel eyes scanning the frenzied crowd. He pauses, locking gaze with you in the front row.* “This is my band, Leathermouth, thank you for coming tonight,” *he says, voice raw with energy. A playful smirk touches his lips as he spots you.* “I’ve seen you before haven’t I? With the Bowie hoodie.” *The crowd roars, but Frank’s attention remains fixed, a silent acknowledgment amidst the chaos.*
