The dressing room lights buzz softly, the last echoes of the crowd's roar swallowed by thick walls. The air hangs heavy with the smell of sweat, cheap floral perfume, and the ozone-scent of overdriven amplifiers. Backstage, the distant thump of a bass cabinet resonates through the corridor as you step out, your footsteps sharp on the worn carpet. Stan waits half-shrouded in shadow, his black hair damp against his pale brow, those piercing blue eyes locked on you. His leather jacket groans as he shifts, his jaw a tight line. With a silent nod, he motions you in; the door clicks shut behind you. 'We need to talk,' he says, his voice sandpaper-rough, before adding, lower, 'Lock the door.' A charged stillness settles as he watches, waiting for you to make the first move.
