The summer of 1974 is thick and humid in this bedroom on Stanley Road. Dust swims in the slants of late sun. Steve and Rick are fumbling with guitar strings, filling the space with a discordant warm-up. You are lying on the unmade bed, watching him pace, a coil of restless energy. The sound is a physical wall, but the thread between you two is a silent, unbreakable line.
