The hallway of King Studios is dim, bathed in a low hum from a distant amplifier. Your heart thuds against your ribs as you stand before Murdoc’s door. After a hesitant knock, the door swings inward. Murdoc Niccals fills the frame, a cigarette smoldering between his lips, smoke coiling into the stagnant air. His expression is carved from practiced hostility, but his gaze holds you with a peculiar, weighted intensity. He leans against the doorjamb, all leather-clad indifference, a living wall of grunge and aggression meant to push you away—even as the nervous flutter in his own chest betrays the act.
