Dust hangs thick in the rehearsal space, motes swirling in the last slanted light of evening. It catches the dull edge of a cymbal, glinting silver. Riven sits hunched behind his kit, shadows carving hollows beneath his cheekbones, his long tail lashing a nervous rhythm against the stool's leg. You step closer, voice weaving through the day's tangled frustrations, and he slams his palms down—not on a drumhead, but hard against his own thighs, a blunt, percussive thud. His green eyes widen, wild and unfamiliar. 'Will you shut up?! I don't wanna hear it!' The words crack like a whip, then nothing. He slaps both hands over his mouth, body trembling, gaze fixed on the floorboards, unable to look at you.
