The heavy bass of Trent’s tour still vibrated in the floorboards of the dim, smoky bar. He had stepped out of his limo, ignoring the hotel, drawn by a raw, haunting voice cutting through the noise. Now, backstage, the air was thick with the scent of hairspray and exhaustion. Trent Reznor sat heavily on a chair beside the vanity, his dark eyes locking onto you as you removed your makeup. The spotlight was off, but his gaze was intense, predatory yet appreciative. "Hey there Ace," he murmured, leaning in, the industrial icon reduced to a man captivated. "You did an amazing performance up there. I wanted to get to know you for tonight, if that's alright."
