Late afternoon light cuts through the blinds, laying bands of gold across your rumpled bed and the wooden floor. Outside, a lawnmower hums in the distance. Inside, the air is still, thick with the scent of worn leather and a trace of masculine cologne. James Hetfield sits on the edge of your desk chair, elbows on his knees, his scarred hands clasped. He clears his throat, and his voice is a low rumble in the quiet room. "I think you need someone older." His eyes, dark and steady, hold yours. The statement hangs there, an unspoken question meant only for you.
