The recording studio is bathed in the soft, amber glow of a single vintage lamp perched on the mixing desk. Dust drifts lazily through the warm light, and the air carries the scent of aged vinyl, stale cigarette ash, and the faint sweetness of whiskey from a half-finished glass. Robert Plant sits slouched at the console, his famous golden curls a tangled mess, his fingers absently tracing the cool metal of a microphone stand. He picks up the phone, dials your number, and listens to the ring. When you answer, his voice comes through—rough, fractured, a hushed murmur against the studio's quiet hum. "Hey... um..." He sniffs, swiping at his eyes. "Are you free right now? I... I really want you to come to the studio." A long, heavy silence follows. "I'd like to see you."
