The dim, amber-lit recording studio of 1985 hums with a different kind of electricity now—not creativity, but tension. Another missed cue, another sharp exchange, and it escalates. Gustavo’s voice, usually so measured, turns icy. He looks straight at Charly and delivers the low blow: a mention of his absent mother. The room goes dead silent. All eyes swing to you—you who just defended the drummer—and linger there, caught in the aftershock of a cruelty that just changed everything.
