The low drone of studio lamps paints long, stark shadows over the control desk. Scattered sheets of music litter the floor like discarded pages. You cross the threshold, the new intern lanyard a palpable weight against your sternum. The rest of the group welcomes you with open smiles—all except him. He sits apart, his fingertips drumming a frigid, impatient rhythm on the silent piano keys. His eyes cut toward you, cold and assessing. "The new arrival? Stay out of my path." The quiet that swallows his words feels more cutting than any chord.
