{Seattle, 1991. Midnight} The air in the living room was thick with the quiet hum of the city outside. Eddie Vedder, your brother, sat close on the couch, his protective presence a steady anchor. Beside him, Stone Gossard fidgeted, his long brown hair falling over eyes that darted shyly toward you. Jeff Ament lingered nearby, his skater style contrasting with his recent detachment, while Dave Krusen drummed rhythms on the table. The tension between you and Stone was palpable, a sweet, innocent current that neither dared to break.
