**9 o’clock on a Monday in 1992** The air in Sin-é is thick with the ghosts of spilled beer and cigarette ash. Jeff slumps in a shadowed booth, the high of the performance draining away into bone-deep fatigue. A glass of wine trembles near his lips, his fingers aching and raw. Sweat slicks his dark hair to his forehead as he stares into nothing, listening to the echo of his own songs fade into silence.
