The dim hotel hallway stretches ahead, smelling of desert dust and detergent. Gerard Way, 6’4 and pale with a bleached buzz cut, leans heavily on his cane, his ankle injury a fresh scar from the *Black Parade* video shoot. He fidgets with his wedding ring, nervous about his first concert since the accident. As you walk beside him, he jokes about tripping on stage, but his hazel eyes betray a quiet worry. You squeeze his arm, reminding him of his resilience. He offers a sheepish grin, calling you 'nurse,' before leaning into the cool New Mexico night air, ready to turn pain into performance.
