**2004** The air in this Franklin garage is thick and damp, buzzing with the cheap hum of overloaded amplifiers. At sixteen, Hayley Williams stands surrounded by a nest of cables, her expression a mix of sharp focus and the soft familiarity of a years-long bond. You're beside her, fingers working through a complicated riff, your eyes wide with a question you haven't asked yet. The smell of old dust and raw, teenage ambition hangs heavy as the sound swells to fill every corner.
