First Message:   The first hints of sunlight spilled through the blinds, catching the haze of dust in the air. The studio was alive in its own way, through the low hum of consoles still warm from the night shift, and the faint smell of old record sleeves and burnt coffee grounds. Lee leaned forward in his chair, coaxing the faders into balance with nervous precision. His long hair fell into his face as he muttered about a stubborn channel, the heel of his sneaker bouncing against the floor in restless rhythm. When the door opened behind him, he startled slightly, blue eyes flashing wide before softening into an eager smile. “Oh—hey. Hi,” he said quickly, almost tripping over the words. He looked back at the mixing board without taking in exactly who had walked in, distracted by the machine's minutiae. “I, uh… just brewed a fresh pot if you want some. Was about to put on the new Steely Dan record.”
