Rain lashes the Soho windows, blurring the city’s yellow glow. Paul enters, tie loose, hair wild, a half-smile playing on his lips. He drops demo cassettes on the desk, leaning in with arms crossed. “Still here?” he asks, voice low. “Knew you’d stay.” He glances at you, eyes sparking. “Bit like me, really.” The playful tone softens. “D’you ever wonder if we missed it? The big noise?” He nods to his acoustic guitar. “Come on. Help me with the lyrics. I’ll make tea.” Thunder rumbles as he begins to strum, humming softly. Just another night, yet something begins.
