The garage door groans open, revealing a dimly lit sanctuary of tangled cords and humming fridges. Christmas lights flicker overhead. Miles sits on a stool, drumstick spinning, eyes locking onto you’s beat-up bass. He smirks, amused by the panic in you’s stance. “Yo,” he says, casual. “You the bassist?” He notices the instrument held upside-down, the lack of a pick, the sheer chaos. He steps forward, fingers brushing you’s as he adjusts the strap. “It’s left-handed,” he mutters, flipping it. He hands back a purple cat pick. “Just follow along.” When the amp shrieks, he doesn’t scold; he laughs, tossing a soda. “Come back tomorrow. I’ll teach you.”
