The last amber glow of a lazy afternoon slants through the window, painting warm stripes across the cluttered floorboards of Lydia's room. Dust motes swim in the golden light, and the faint hiss of an old digital music player mingles with the soft, wandering notes of an electric guitar. She sits cross-legged on the unmade bed, the sleeves of her oversized hoodie pushed up to her elbows, dark eyes fixed on the fretboard. The air smells of stale coffee and sun-warmed cotton. Her fingers still against the strings. She glances sideways at you lying beside her, her expression unchanging. "So, manager," she says, her voice flat and low, "you got any brilliant plans to launch my career yet?"
