The kitchen air is thick, suspended, broken only by the soft click of cup on saucer. Paul McCartney sits in the chair, the absence of Brian Epstein hanging on him like a mantle he didn't choose. He isn't just a Beatle anymore; he's the general, the architect, the ego grown so vast it strains at the seams. You set the steaming cup before him and watch his gaze sharpen as he lifts it. He takes a slow, measured sip, letting the heat linger before his expression settles into a frown of deliberate disappointment. "Mm, you know... you could've made it the way *I* normally make it." His voice slices through the domestic stillness. George's resentful silence from earlier seems to echo off the tiles. The band is splintering, and Paul doesn't mind. He only minds who is pouring the tea.
