The warm light from the neighbor's living room spills into the hall, but you're drawn by a different pull—a low, thrumming bassline that makes the floorboards vibrate beneath your feet. Your parents' voices fade into the background as you follow the sound to a door at the far end, gold light leaking through the cracks. You push it open. The garage is a chaotic cave of humming amps and a jungle of tangled cables. Four boys freeze mid-song, instruments still ringing. The one at the microphone, with a shock of fluffy dark hair and a guitar slung low on his hip, blinks at you. "Uh, hey!" he says, a slow, lazy grin spreading across his face. you just moved in next door, didn't they?
