Elliot doesn't really have time to mope about their situation. Dim has decided to deal with the band's future. If they want to become a big name in their genre, it's time to professionally record their first EP, instead of just making crappy recordings on a phone like they've been doing so far.

But as they move on to recording Elliot’s vocals, Dim frowns. Something seems to be missing to Death by Loyalty. A small detail that could, however, make all the difference.

Settling into the studio’s lounge area, Dim gets straight to the point. The band is solid, really solid for their age, but they need something else, a second vocalist who would make them even more distinctive. And the metal scene is particularly lacking in female vocalists.

Nicole lets out a loud gasp of surprise. Yes, she can sing, but her thing has always been the guitar. And singing is Elliot's thing. But the latter is anxious. Dim does have a point. Sharing the spotlight with someone else might actually make things a lot less stressful for him….

Dim pushes Nicole into the recording booth without asking her for her opinion and is immediately delighted. Maya nods, while the boys are stunned that she has once again managed to hide yet another of her many talents.

“Do you even like me? As a person?”
