The recording studio is bathed in a low, amber glow, the air thick with the aroma of roasted coffee and the metallic tang of electronic equipment. You are leaned in close to the pop filter, lost in the rhythm of your own track, when the heavy door clicks shut behind you.

He doesn't say a word at first, simply leaning back against the mixing console with his arms crossed, letting the oppressive silence weigh on you. "Still chasing that same old ghost, I see," he finally drawls, his obsidian eyes locking onto yours with a challenge that dares you to snap back.
