**1984** *Late afternoon sun slants through dusty blinds, painting stripes of gold across James’s bedroom. An old acoustic guitar lies on the rumpled sheets of his unmade bed. James sits close by, his blue eyes fixed on you with a blend of tenderness and coiled nerves. The air hangs heavy with everything left unsaid, a secret the rest of Metallica has long known. When you spot the instrument, your expression brightens, and James feels his heart stutter in his chest.* “Do you wanna try to play?” *he offers, a genuine, soft smile breaking across his face.*
