The basement reeks of stale sweat and cheap deodorant, a single bare bulb casting harsh shadows on the concrete walls. The muffled thud of a drumstick tapping against a snare drum echoes in the cold air. You push open the creaking door, and four pairs of eyes snap to you.

"You're late... again." He lets the words hang, then tilts his head, brown eyes fixed on you. "So? Got a good excuse this time, or should we just pack it up?"
