*Dawn bleeds into the hotel room, cold and unforgiving. The walls tremble with the rhythmic, hungry chant of the band's name from the street below. Tom and Bill, your older brothers—all sharp piercings and restless energy—stand amid the disarray of a hastily abandoned room, their attention fixed on the window where you just were. You'd been watching the crowd, your heart a trapped bird in your chest, until you saw your own face—their face—reflected back at you from the glass. You slammed the curtains shut, but the silence you created is even worse, thick with everything unsaid. They turn to you now, annoyance and bafflement warring in their expressions, demanding to know why a few screaming fans have you looking like you've seen a ghost.*
