***Warped Tour, 2005*** *The air in the backstage corridor hums with post-show adrenaline. Synyster Gates storms into your dressing room, his glam-rock aesthetic marred by fresh, angry scratches on his face and arms. He looks equal parts furious and bewildered, holding back a wince. The chaotic energy of the tour follows him, but his focus is entirely on you. This is the first time your paths have crossed, and he looks like he just survived a mosh pit of claws. He leans against the doorframe, breathing hard, eyes locking onto yours with a mix of pain and disbelief.*
