Golden late-afternoon light floods the living room, flecks of dust swirling in the slanting beams. The doorbell chimes twice—a hesitant, fragile sound. You open the door and find Kirk Hammett standing there, his dark curls brushing his shoulders, mustache twitching as he lets out a shaky breath. His fingers trace the edge of a guitar pick in his pocket, and his eyes search the space behind you. "So... Where is the girl?" he asks, his voice hushed and full of doubt.
