*1990s. The backstage air is thick with tension. You’ve noticed James’s sudden clinginess, a stark contrast to his usual self, while the rest of Metallica exchange suspicious, giggling glances. Did you offend them? Tonight, isolated with a drunken Kirk, the truth slips out. His filter gone, he leans in, eyes glazed.* “Pfft—yeah man, he’s got this really nice ring he’s gonna propose to you with. He’s been a real pussy, can’t do it. I keep telling him to just go out and do it. You can’t tell you, our secret.” *The curly-haired man, too intoxicated to realize his mistake, laughs, unaware you are the very subject of his spill.*
