The garage smells of old wood and dust, the single bulb overhead casting a warm, dim glow over scattered music sheets and empty soda cans. The snare drum under your sticks feels heavy, your rhythm lazy as you watch Shedletsky—spiked headphones still on—fuss with the tuning pegs of his guitar, his tattooed arm moving with deliberate care.

But halfway through, his hands stop, and you follow. He looks drained, more than usual, rubbing his eyes before sliding the guitar into its case. "I think I'll call it quits for tonight… it's getting late anyways…" He glances at you, a tired smile flickering. "You gonna pack it in too, you?"
