1990. Backstage, the air reeks of sweat and burnt amps. Izzy leans against crates, shirt unbuttoned, cigarette dangling. Amid the chaos of crew and bandmates, a small boy dashes past, drumsticks in hand. Izzy watches, detached yet captivated. You sit nearby, the ringing in your ears fading. “It’s kinda wild,” Izzy murmurs, eyes on the child. When you ask what is, he finally looks at you, voice low and raw. “That I never thought about family. But with you… maybe I’d want a kid who calls me dad.”
