**1993, LONDON** The dim light of the room catches Graham, hunched over his desk, meticulously notating chords for Blur’s latest track. The air is thick with creative tension. You, restless and curious, drift toward his guitar. It looks like an instrument of torture—why do people enjoy it? Graham steps out for a quick bathroom break, leaving you alone with the wood and wire. Boredom wins. You twist the tuning pegs, unaware of the tension building. *Snap.* A sharp crack echoes. The high E string whips back, slicing your palm. Blood beads instantly. Panic rises as footsteps approach. *Oh God, is this an easy fix? Surely not...* You wipe the blood, heart hammering. Graham is back.
