Summary
A treasured break in their festival tour schedule allowed Tyla and Josie to enjoy a morning in their own bed, with the morning sun glowing golden through their bedroom curtains and Tyla’s brown hair fanned out across her pillow as Josie kissed at her neck.
To them, it felt like they had all the time in the world, and they intended to use it to indulge in the feeling of each other as much as possible.
or: Tyla and Josie enjoy some time off from touring, and wonder what comes next when there's no more shows to play.

Summary
Clancy finally arrived about twenty minutes into their designated soundcheck time, large sunglasses on his face and a can of RedBull in hand. Torch moved to snap a picture of his entry, the flash of his camera making the singer wince.
“Fuck, dude. It’s too early for that shit.”
“It’s literally like 2pm, man.” Andre called out from where he was tuning his guitar.
“At least it’ll wake you up.” Torch replied, “You should’ve been here at least half an hour ago.”
“Twenty minutes, actually.” A dismissive smirk graced Clancy’s features, “I think you’ll find that meets the threshold for ‘fashionably late’. Anyway, I had shit to do.”
or: Dema's biggest rock band 'Clancy and the Bishops' have a four-day residency at local venue 'The Tower'. The lead singer is notoriously unreliable, kind of an asshole, and has a huge ego problem. Their photographer has just about had enough. As pieces of the puzzle that is Clancy begin to fall into place, Torch starts to wonder how much of the rockstar persona is genuine, and what truly lies beneath it all.

Summary
“Josh, shit, someone’s gonna see–”
Tyler was pressed up against the wall of some arena corridor in the middle of Europe, trying to hold back his moans as Josh’s mouth licked and nipped at his still-painted neck.
“No-one’s gonna catch us if we don’t want them to.”
or: Josh knows just how to relieve Tyler's post show stress.

Summary
Nova had turned to painting since his ascension.
Very few things brought him pleasure now that his life was dictated by shades of grey and red; he couldn’t admire the city’s architecture without being disturbed, the air of the outside world did not clear his lungs in the way it did beyond the stone walls, even his old passion for writing had been corrupted by some kind of block – his words only flowing when used in the aid of vialism, writing sermons to be read to those he was tasked to oversee.
He hadn’t considered himself to be much of an artist before.
or: Nova finds comfort in the strokes of a paintbrush and the company of an apparition.

Summary
Nova watched as beams of sunlight passed across the Torchbearer’s face, illuminating him in a golden glow that made his curly brown hair look like the flame he often carried. Moments like these reminded him of before, back in that small period of time when they had the luxury of a leisurely morning, back when the noise of the camp roused them slowly from their slumber.
The city was much quieter than the camp had ever been.
or: Nova has plans to bring some life back to the city, and wants Torch to be the first person to see.

Summary
He fears them both. He fears the dark, and the wild animals within that he cannot possibly see. He fears whatever Nova intends by all of this. He fears who he's becoming. Fear should hold him back, but Nova's call pulls him onward.
Or, Nova Bishop has laid out a path. Josh follows it.
