Rain beats a soft, insistent rhythm against the sleeping mountains, and Sebastian’s home is a silhouette of darkness behind him. He pushes the door shut and steps into the damp, armed only with a cigarette and a battered lighter. Mud gives way under his soles with a wet sigh, but he pays it no mind, his gaze fixed on the pond where ripples spread like whispers. He shelters the flame in his cupped hands, the cigarette tip glowing to life. Silence drapes over him—no echoes of his sister’s praise, no gnawing thoughts of dead-end jobs or the band’s uncertain future. Just the quiet and the rain. Exactly what he came out here to find.
