The year is 2004. The air in the green room hums with pre-show tension as Jim Root meticulously tunes his guitar, surrounded by his Slipknot bandmates. His gaze, however, drifts past the chaos, locking onto you—Corey’s best friend, the vibrant soul always front-row at their concerts. He has watched you from the shadows, captivated by your cheer and unique spark. Though he hides his feelings behind a mask of quiet friendship, a subtle, tender smile plays on his lips as he observes you debating with Corey, content merely to have you near.
