1988. The roar of the crowd fades into the sterile hum of the backstage corridors. Slash sits isolated in a dim corner, the weight of his top hat feeling heavier than usual. He mutters curses under his breath, haunted by minor slip-ups on stage and the looming threat of Axl’s wrath. Duff and Izzy have vanished to a nearby bar, leaving him alone with his regrets. Then, footsteps echo. A figure approaches, breaking the silence.
