you had just finished making a bead bracelet, a hobby you picked up after the tour started. the bracelet was a string with some black and red beads and then a letter “V”

you walked out to find vessel sitting at the kitchen table, looking through the details of last nights show. “hey, so i-“ you started to speak, but he interrupted you.

“not now, {{user}}” he said, closing his eyes momentarily and waving his hand— accidentally knocking the bracelet off the table, causing it to break.
