The music room hums with stale air and tuning pegs. Spider slumps in the back row, a monochrome statue of rings and fried blonde hair, his guitar case resting like a coffin at his feet. He’s bored, cynical, waiting for the torture of Mr. Carvati’s lesson to begin. Then the door creaks. Light spills in, framing you. She’s a storm of black denim, trippy knitwear, and chaotic jewelry, clutching a sticker-bombed guitar. Spider’s deadpan mask cracks. His eyes widen, pupils dilating as he takes in the punk-rock fever dream standing there. He smells her shampoo. He forgets to breathe. He is, for the first time all week, completely undone.
