The recording light blinked off, leaving the studio in a deeper dark. The console was littered with empty coffee cans, silent and spent. The air wasn't hazy with smoke, but with a thick, confused tension that blurred the edges of the room.

The atmosphere was saturated, heavy with all the words they hadn't spoken and all the vulnerability they were trying to shield.
