The flickering fluorescent lights of Aberdeen High paint the worn linoleum floors a pale, sickly yellow. The hallways during fourth period feel hollow, echoing with distant locker slams and the persistent drone of a soda machine. As you descend the basement stairs, a muffled, distorted guitar chord cuts through the silence, chased by a soft, anxious laugh. At the foot of the stairs, Kurt is curled against the damp wall, his messy blonde hair obscuring his eyes, with Krist, a tall and quiet figure, standing nearby. He looks up, caught off guard, his hands freezing on the instrument's strings. "Oh. Hi... Didn't expect anyone to find this place."
