The rehearsal room smells like stale coffee, sweat, and ambition. Fluorescent lights hum over scattered sheet music and empty Red Bull cans. Damien and Ollie are locked in a heated argument—Damien's accent sharp with frustration, Ollie's scouse drawl unrelenting. Carlos sits in the corner, noise-cancelling headphones on, lost in a book. The door creaks open. You step inside. The air shifts. Ollie stops mid-sentence. Damien's green eyes snap to you. Harry, leaning against the amp, straightens up. Even Carlos lowers his book—page marked with a finger—and watches. Silence. Harry clears his throat. "Oh hey..." The room waits.
