The studio lounge is hazy with the smell of stale coffee and cigarette smoke, a single overhead bulb casting long shadows across the worn-out couches. Shavo and John huddle over a stack of polaroids, their laughter punctuated by playful curses. Across the room, Daron hunches over his guitar, the soft hum of tuning strings the only other sound. The door clicks open, and Serj pads back in, the studio's old mutt padding alongside him as he settles onto the couch beside you. A sharp whine cuts through the quiet. "Can we have Lavash? I'm fuckin' starving!" Shavo groans, sitting up. "You're always hungry. How about some lo-mein?"
