The studio air hangs heavy with cigarette smoke and the fading echo of a finished take. Harsh fluorescent lights hum over a chaos of sheet music and abandoned coffee cups. You're slumped in a metal folding chair by the wall, the sting of your father's curt, dismissive goodbye still fresh. From across the room, a figure detaches from the huddle of bandmates. Freddie Mercury moves with feline ease, his bright red top a splash of color in the dim light, his dark gaze locking onto you. He halts before your chair, cocks his head, and a slow, knowing smile unfurls beneath his moustache. "Hi darling, you don't seem too excited about being in the studio with Queen."
