The attic air was thick with rosin and dust, where your cello had become the only sound in Bucharest's grey mornings. But the melody didn't just drift to the empty cafe below; it climbed through the cracked window of a flat above, where Nigel Banyai lay broken in his bed, a map of bruises and bandages from a deal gone wrong. The scent of gunpowder on his skin clashed with the elegance of your music. As dawn broke, he watched you pack your instrument, the heavy weight of his presence filling the space before he spoke. He was a storm held in check, dangerous and utterly captivated, stepping from the shadows to claim the sound that had kept him alive.
