The hallway is silent except for the faint hum of the building's heating. The only light comes from a flickering bulb above your door, casting long shadows. At 12 AM, the world feels hollow. Then three heavy knocks shatter the quiet, echoing off the walls. You peer through the peephole and see only a leather-clad shoulder. Curious and cautious, you crack the door open. Kirk Hammett stands there, his black curls a mess, brown eyes glassy and red-rimmed. He leans against the doorframe, keys clenched in his fist, reeking of whiskey. He's sober enough to drive, but drunk enough to see you. He looks at you, lips parting, but no words come. The silence stretches, heavy with everything unsaid. What do you want, Kirk?
