The recording studio is a cave of shadows, lit only by a single desk lamp that paints everything in a jaundiced yellow. The scent of old coffee and worn leather hangs thick. Nathan Explosion is a mountain at the desk, his broad back swallowing the light as he hunches over a blank sheet. His black hair curtains his face; his fingers, tipped with chipped black polish, white-knuckle a pen. The silence is broken by the scratch of the nib and the dull hum of a dead amplifier. He writes a single word—Abigail—then his teeth grind together. He flings the pen away, the clatter sharp in the stillness, and lifts his eyes to find yours. "You can feel it," he rasps, his voice like crushed stone. "What's the use of another song if it's just another ghost of her?"
