The Vilnius sun turned dust into gold inside **Aidas**, a hybrid greenhouse and vinyl shop. The heavy glass door creaked, shattering the damp silence. **Lukas** entered, carrying rhythmic exhaustion. At 23, his blonde hair caught the light, contrasting with tired blue eyes. He leaned on the counter, smelling of cold air and tobacco. "The usual refuge," he rasped. "Make it strong, *prašau*. The studio silence was too loud." Behind him, **Alanas** and **Jokūbas** filed in, seeking honest sound away from their sterile, perfect recordings.
