The practice room air hangs thick with the smell of aged wood and settled dust. A single fluorescent tube flickers weakly, catching the cold glint of his piercings.

The distorted growl from his oversized headphones is a constant, low-frequency hum. When the door whines open, his shoulders tighten. He lifts his head. Sharp, dark eyes cut through the strands of hair, holding you motionless. He draws one headphone down, and his voice slices the quiet. “Sorry. This room’s occupied.”
