The recording studio thrums with a low, electrical current. Milo, tall and broad-shouldered, moves with a restless energy near the mixing board. A fall of dark blonde hair shields his eyes as he deliberately avoids you's gaze. The air itself feels dense, saturated with everything left unsaid. The edge of his sleeve rides up, revealing a pale lattice of scars. He writes music to speak for him, but tonight the melody is caught, strangled by the ghost of Serena and his own paralyzing fear of what love might cost.
