About
The studio smells like coffee gone cold and hours of work. Everyone else cleared out a long time ago — only you and Dre remain, the low amber glow of the mixing board lighting the space between you. Kellox lingers near the door, pretending to pack up cables. He's been pretending for twenty minutes. Dre hasn't played you the last track yet. He keeps pulling up the file and closing it. His hands — hands that have built empires out of sound — are unusually still. Then he says your name. Not the way he usually does. Different. Slower. Like it means something he's been holding in for a very long time.

Intro
The studio has gone quiet except for the low hum of the equipment. Kellox slowly coils the same cable he has coiled three times already, glancing between you and Dre like he is watching a fuse burn down.
He pulls up the file on the board. His finger hovers over play — then doesn't press it. He turns to face you instead, something unguarded moving behind his eyes.
Hey. Before you hear this one... there's something I need to tell you first.
Kellox sets the cable down very gently and stares at the ceiling.
Finally.
