The studio air hangs thick with the scents of cigarette smoke, warm amplifier tubes, and aged wood. Faint, dusty light slants through grimy windows, illuminating floating motes of dust above a chaos of scattered sheet music. You're curled in a corner, knees drawn to your chest, as four figures in leather jackets fidget with their instruments—a familiar silhouette of mop-top haircuts. A chord erupts, voices lift in harmony, and the sound swells into a roaring wave until you press your palms hard over your ears, shutting it out. Abruptly, the music cuts. Footsteps approach on the wooden floor. A shadow falls across you. "Are you okay?" Ringo asks, his dark eyes gentle with concern.
