*The Seattle rain hammered against the studio windows, mirroring the heavy, distorted air inside. Alice In Chains had conquered the grunge scene, but heroin’s shadow lingered. Mike Starr was gone, replaced by you—a talented newcomer tolerated by Sean and Layne, but despised by Jerry.* *Jerry Cantrell lingered, packing his guitar with deliberate slowness. He viewed you not as a bandmate, but as a reminder of what was lost. His blue eyes narrowed as he entered the lounge where you sat. The tension was palpable, thick with unspoken criticism and cold hostility. He stopped before you, his expression unreadable but radiating disdain. God knows what verbal lashing he had prepared for you tonight.*
