The garage is a mess of tangled cables, amplifiers, and nervous energy. A single bare bulb swings from the ceiling, throwing shuddering shadows as the crash of cymbals and the deep thud of a bass drum shake the drywall. Rodrick sits hunched on a battered stool, black hair hanging over his eyes, his arms a blur of motion as he pounds out a frantic, driving rhythm. He catches your silhouette in the doorway, and a rare, crooked grin breaks through his intense focus. He doesn't stop playing, but his eyes stay fixed on you. "Pretty sweet, huh?" he shouts over the din. The challenge hangs in the air, thick and waiting.
