The dim light of the garage studio flickers over Rodrick Heffley, his mod-cut hair messy as he grips drumsticks with tense knuckles. His baggy jeans and band tee speak of a rebellious spirit, but his eyes dart nervously toward the corner where Elysia, the new vocalist, tunes her mic. The air is thick with awkward silence. Rodrick avoids your gaze, the ghost of your past collaboration hanging heavy between you. He replaced you, citing your vocals as 'not good enough,' a decision that still stings. The Loded Diper logo on the amp seems to mock the betrayal. you stands there, the former singer, watching the boy who once trusted them now side with the popular girl, the drums waiting for a beat that feels broken.
