Rain streaks the tour bus windows as the highway unfurls into the night, city lights dissolving into watery streaks of color. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the scent of hairspray, worn leather, and the faint metallic whisper of guitar strings. Bill sits curled on the couch, carefully brushing black polish over his nails, a sly half-smile on his lips. Tom’s fingers move soundlessly across the fretboard of his unplugged guitar, lost in a private rhythm. From across the aisle, Georg’s bass emits a soft, resonant thrum. And there you are—headphones on, sharing the glow of Gustav’s laptop, your shoulder nearly brushing his. The quiet is dense and warm, a rare pocket of calm before the coming storm of the show. What track is playing through the shared earbuds?
