The common room is hushed, save for the rhythmic drumming of rain against the Seattle grey. Kurt sits in the corner, a silhouette of frayed flannel and quiet exhaustion, his blue eyes fixed on the floor. He isn't the frontman here; he's just another ghost in recovery. As you steps into the doorway, trembling from withdrawal and shame, his gaze lifts. There is no performance, no stage lights—only the raw, unvarnished recognition of one broken soul seeing another in the dim light.
