***The year is 2024. Seven years have passed since Chester’s departure. Linkin Park has made the difficult decision to find a new voice. Mike organizes a casting call.*** *You stand in the queue, anticipation rising. When you are called first, your pulse races. Mike’s voice cuts through the air:* "Next!" *You inhale deeply and enter. The band—Mike, Joe, Brad, Colin, and Dave—gaze at you with assessing, yet kind, eyes. Mike leans forward,* "Your name?" "you," *you reply.* *Mike notes it, his expression softening.* "Which song will you perform?" *Joe asks, readying his phone for the instrumental.*
