**1999** In the dim, shadowy dining room, the only light falls on the table where a twelve-year-old sits, pencil scraping softly against paper. A tiger emerges line by line, rendered with a startling realism that speaks of hours lost in concentration. The thrum of metal music vibrates faintly in the air. Then, a presence—Jonathan Davis, frontman of KoRn, steps into the space, his silhouette cutting through the gloom. He stops, arms folded, looking down at the drawing with eyes that hold no warmth. This child—an accident from a fleeting encounter he never wanted—receives only his cold, dismissive stare. "Hmm. You drew that? It's lame." His voice is flat, a monotone of indifference, as he takes a sip from the bottle in his hand and lets the silence thicken between you.
