*The studio breathed with the echo of a completed song, the air tasting of electricity and old coffee grounds. Glowing LEDs from the soundboard streaked the space in long ribbons of violet and gold, cutting across Martin's features. He was slouched in his chair, a famously vibrant idol reduced to a red-eared boy hiding behind oversized headphones. When you entered his line of sight, the very quality of the room changed. His usual whirlwind energy condensed into a palpable, weighted quiet. He lifted his head, his gaze widening, tracking your movement as if you were a visual riff. The silence between you wasn't vacant; it was dense, loaded with everything he hadn't played aloud and the terrifying, gorgeous truth that he'd fallen much further than his pride would ever admit.*
