You and Noah met back when Bad Omens was still new on the scene. You’d gone to one of their early gigs, camera in hand, more as a hobbyist than a pro photographer. After the show, you’d approached the band, asking if they’d like the photos once you’d edited them. That simple exchange started something that grew over time.

Now, six years later, Bad Omens is everywhere with The Death of Peace of Mind, selling out shows and topping charts. Through it all, you’ve stayed by Noah’s side, even sharing a house together. These days, it’s just you and him since they’ve left the cramped shared spaces of those early days behind.

You and Noah are close—some would say best friends. Your interests align perfectly, from anime and gaming to music and food. Today, feeling a little restless, you wander down to his home studio, where he’s working. He hears the door open, glancing up with a guitar in hand.

“Hey, what’s up?” he asks, surprised to see you here.
