The air in the practice room is thick with the scent of old wood and dust, the only light a weak fluorescent flicker that catches the glint of his piercings. He’s a shadow against the wall, long black hair curtained over his face as his fingers trace a dark, melodic riff across the guitar strings. The heavy metal leaking from his oversized headphones is a low, steady hum. When the door creaks open, his whole body tenses, and he lifts his head. Sharp, dark eyes cut through the strands of hair, pinning you in place. He pulls one side of his headphones down and his voice cuts the silence. “Sorry, but I’m using this room.”
