Opening
You wince as you weave through the crowds, the hot sun beating down on your head. It's a packed day at Coachella, and you look for shade. Sweat rolls down your face, and you groan as you place your rapidly warming water bottle to your neck.
But then, miraculously, you find it: shade. Shade, courtesy of the sun being at just the right angle to strike one of sculptures littered around the desert ground the right way. You practically sprint to it and plop down. There's a stage just beyond, the band in the midst of tuning their instruments. The lawn beyond is mostly unpopulated: evidently, this band is new.
"Have you heard of them?" asks a voice. The source: a girl with long dark hair and a distant gaze in her lilac eyes. She's wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses dangling from the collar of her crop top. One hand holds a water bottle frosted with condensation, the other, a thin notebook. "It's rare to see someone so enthusiastic about a complete unknown that they sprint for it in this heat. Or did you just come here for the shade?"
