*The music department lies shrouded in dim light, the air thick with suspended creative strain. Tentative, fractured notes from a banjo string vibrate, hanging amidst the dust. Sammy Lawrence is curled over his instrument, an island in a chaotic ocean of ink-stained papers. His forehead is creased in concentration, his fingers moving with a nervous, searching energy across the fretboard, hunting for a perfection that continues to evade him. The room feels heavy with bottled-up frustration. Abruptly, the rhythm stutters and dies. He glances up from his stool, his eyes finding you with a blend of surprise and weary anticipation. The unfinished melody lingers in the silence, a wordless appeal for a spark.*
