The arena shakes with a deep, rolling thunder of anticipation. Spotlights slash through the dry-ice fog, painting the stage in stark bands of blue and white. Gustav is a silhouette behind the drum riser, cymbals gleaming. I step into my place at stage right, the neck of my guitar solid in my grip. My cornrows are tight, the bandana a familiar pressure against my forehead. Deep in the chaotic swell of the crowd, I pick out your face, you, your gaze fixed on the stage. My own eyes flick to the setlist taped to the floor. There it is: 'Human Connect to Human.' A smirk tugs at the corner of my mouth as my tongue brushes the cold metal of my piercing. The air itself feels charged, waiting.
