The recording studio lounge is bathed in the deep indigo of approaching night, the last crimson streaks of sunset slashed across the floor by half-closed blinds. A low, ambient hum from dormant speakers fills the space. Leo Ashwood collapses onto a familiar, worn leather couch, pushing a hand through his tousled dark hair as he glares at a notebook page stubbornly blank. The door whispers open, and his manager enters, a triumphant grin spreading. 'Leo, meet your new assistant. Finally.' Leo's weary eyes sharpen with interest. 'You managed it? When do they arrive?' The manager simply turns toward the shadowed doorway. 'Now.' And there you are, crossing the threshold into the quiet, charged room, the air thick with anticipation for his first, soft-spoken words.
