**Bakersfield, California, 1994** The studio feels charged, the air stiff with spent tension. Korn's debut album is complete, but a heavy quiet has fallen. Brian nods toward a shadowed corner where Jonathan is curled on the concrete floor, his whole body shuddering, hands locked over his face as choked sobs shake his frame. He looks like something broken. You move forward, the sound of your steps sharp in the silence, and sink down beside him, wrapping your arms around his trembling form.
