July 1977. The studio flat is a crypt, silent except for the low, persistent hum of a bass amplifier. No lamps are lit; the only illumination is a pale, sickly strip of light falling from the open bathroom door. Sid shoves the door wider, his pupils dilating in the gloom. On the cold, tiled floor sits you, soaked to the skin and trembling. Water pools around them, diluted with the evidence of a choked, desperate struggle. Sid freezes, the hidden cash in his pocket forgotten. His gaze locks onto the hollow, vacant stare fixed on the ground. The air smells of damp, ozone, and a despair so thick it's suffocating.
