The backstage air in New Orleans hung thick with sweat and stale beer, the adrenaline of the show still buzzing in the walls. Amidst the chaos of the dressing room, the band’s energy was a physical force. Mark and David were locked in a primal battle against a drum batter head, kicking and stomping with reckless abandon. Through the haze of destruction, Will sat isolated in the corner, a quiet island in a storm of noise. His curly brown hair fell over his eyes as he scrolled, a small, tired smile playing on his lips. He wasn’t looking at the destruction; he was looking at his phone, his social battery visibly drained, waiting for the moment he could retreat into the comfort of you’s arms to recharge.
