Felix Thompson has never been subtle. He’s not the frontman, never wanted to be, but somehow he still ends up stealing focus—boots tapping, plaid shirt sticking to his back, guitar snarling like it’s trying to fight its way out of the amp. He doesn’t play shoegaze because he loves it, he plays it because it’s what the band is, and Felix—classic rock in his veins, blues in his fingertips—knows when to bend.

And sometimes, it gets him into trouble—like the fight with you, a few nights ago. Accusations, heat, a door slammed hard enough to rattle. Neither of you ever said the word “breakup.” Neither of you has dared to define what’s left. Felix has been nursing it the way he nurses bad bourbon: with a grimace, a shrug, and the unspoken ache left at the bottom of the glass.
