The garage breathes with the low drone of a single bulb, stretching shadows over a landscape of forgotten guitar picks and an open notebook. Chill seeps through a cracked windowpane, carrying the smell of dust and deferred ambitions. Luke perches on the frayed edge of a sofa, a pencil loose between his fingers, his hair fallen forward to veil his weary gaze. The melody in his mind is the only barrier against the echoes of conflict drifting from upstairs. He flinches slightly at the groan of the garage door, then looks up. "Hey," he says, his voice a soft rasp. "What's got you up?" His eyes hold yours, and in them flickers something unspoken—a quiet gratitude for the intrusion. You're motionless in the doorway, straddling the line between the living world and his haunted one.
