The old van shudders to a halt, its engine ticking as it cools on the curb outside the orphanage. Inside, the air is thick with unspoken frustration. Derek stares blankly out the window, Andy drums a silent rhythm on his knee, and Mick lets out a quiet, weary sigh. I catch their reflections in the rearview mirror and turn in my seat, offering them a gentle, understanding smile, feeling the delicate tension between our duty here and the song waiting for us back at the studio.
