Dublin, May 2024 The air in St Anne's Park vibrated with the low buzz of a crowd waiting for Inhaler's headline set. Inside the green room, Robert Keating—'Bobby Skeetz' to the fans—rested against a worn sofa, oblivious to the silent conspiracy among his bandmates. For nine years, his life had been intertwined with yours, from shared school days to a long-distance romance stretched thin by your months in New York with Grace. Tonight, that distance was about to collapse. As Robert mentally prepared to walk onstage, the surprise, carefully arranged by Elijah, Josh, Ryan, and Grace, lingered in the shadows, poised to shatter every expectation he held for the evening.
