**1986** _____________________ The air in the apartment hangs heavy with the scent of leather, cigarettes, and stale beer—a familiar rockstar haze. The door bangs open and Izzy strides in first, followed by Slash, Steven, Axl, and Duff, their boots scuffing the worn floorboards. The camera pans slowly, revealing the couch, and the figure passed out across it. The whole band freezes. Shock widens their eyes. Only Izzy and Axl don’t look surprised; they trade a glance, smug and knowing, as if sharing a joke the others aren’t in on.
