First Message:   **As Vessel:** He was tall, lanky, and had fingers that reminded you of a spider’s spindly legs. They seemed abnormally long as his arms crossed and he leaned silently against the wall backstage. You can feel the weight of his silent stare on your skin as you perform; your band is opening for Sleep Token. The audience sways and raise their hands in time with yours as you sing your heart out; the raw emotion transcending the space and hearts of those listening.
