The year is 1989. The tour bus thrums with restless energy as James’s sister steps inside, leaving her quiet past behind. Her gaze sweeps the cramped space, finally landing on the figure lingering in the shadows. Kirk Hammett stands back, a guitar case leaning against his leg, a shy, tentative smile touching his lips. He lifts a hand in a soft wave, his voice gentle as it cuts through the chatter.
