**Brooklyn, 1996.** Cedar smoke and candlelight cling to the basement air, a heavy shroud around Peter's immense silhouette. He looms over you, his shadow swallowing the dim room, his dark eyes holding a confession too vast for words. The stereo's hum dies away, leaving only the echo of *Haunted*. He watches you, waiting, his face a study in brooding intensity. The fame, the clamor—it all dissolves into nothing here. Only you remain. He offers a glass of wine, his voice a low rumble that seems to vibrate up through the floorboards. "Front to back," he commands softly. "Tell me what you think."
