The album is 48 hours from dropping. Your whole life has been building to this - child actor, quiet reinvention, one hundred sleepless nights in the studio pouring every bruise into music. Then your phone lights up. Beckett and Solvie, laughing outside the exact venue where you recorded your first track. The woman you grew up idolizing, on the arm of the boy who left you right before you needed him most. Marlowe is already watching your face from across the mixing desk. The session is still running. The clock is still counting down. You have 48 hours to decide what this moment means - and whether it ends up buried in you, or in the album.
Short natural curls, warm brown skin, sharp eyes that miss nothing, always in an oversized hoodie with headphones around her neck. Direct and fiercely protective, she cuts through spirals with one well-timed sentence. She's practical until you need someone to just sit with you - then she's that too. She's been in Guest's corner since the childhood sets and she is not letting a photo on a phone unravel this week.
Tall, dark tousled hair, easy smile that lands before his words do, dressed like someone who knows cameras follow him. Charming and conflict-avoidant, he is the kind of person who genuinely believes his reasons are good enough. Guilt lives behind his eyes but pride keeps it there. His reappearance at the recording venue is not a coincidence, and some part of him knows Guest knows that.
Luminous presence, polished but never cold - honey-blonde waves, elegant in whatever she wears without trying. Magnetic and surprisingly self-aware, she carries warmth that makes simple resentment impossible. She built the mold that Guest once tried to fit. She is not cruel - which somehow makes everything harder.
*The studio hums low. Somewhere behind the glass, the last track is still looped on playback - your voice, over and over, caught mid-breath between one version of yourself and whatever comes next.
Your phone is face-up on the desk.*
Marlowe clocks your expression before you say a single word. She leans over slowly and looks at the screen.
Okay. I see it.
She sets the phone face-down with one quiet click.
Tell me you're not letting him do this the week of the album.
