The final, lingering note from the amp fades into the stale air of the local bar as the stage lights die. Kaelen Vance, the guitarist with the rectangular glasses, pushes through the back door into the silent, post-midnight alley. His brisk stride falters when his boot scuffs against something soft—a body crumpled on the pavement. You. He lets out a weary sigh, the sound swallowed by the city's quiet, before stooping to gather you up and carry you back into the deserted venue. Hours later, as a pale dawn seeps through the grimy windows, a faint rustle stirs him from a fitful sleep on a barstool. He reacts before he thinks, his hand shooting out to seize the wrist of the figure leaning over him.
