*A few days later*

Lanza POV:

I was alone in the penthouse working on a song I wrote a while back, Crying My Name. Right now, I was finalizing my final draft for the lyrics before I go in and give a few of the verses a try. After a bit of rewriting, I looked at the lyric sheet before grabbing my guitar and heading inside the recording room, setting the sheet on the stand next to the mic. Reading over the lyrics, I had the realization I didn't start the recording from the control room.

"How am I gonna..?" Suddenly, a strange feeling started washing over me, like my spirit was being split from my body. Once the feeling vanished, I looked around before seeing a purple clone of myself to my right. Curious, I raised my right hand, and the clone mirrored my action. I remember doing this when I cooked up breakfast for all of us after that concert, but I had more curiosity gnawing at me. "Hm... can I give you a mind of your own..?" Focusing my thoughts, I thought to have the clone do its own thing, before it walked out of the recording room and sat down at the control room terminal. Humming in interest, I attempted to create more clones, and I managed to summon three more that all took up the usual spots of my band members with the two in Shiro and Jack's places creating a guitar and bass out of thin air. Taking my guitar, I gave a thumbs up to the clone in the control room as it returned the gesture, pressing the record button.

(Heavy Intro)

Lanza:

Woke up screaming again,
For the hundredth time...
These details I can't escape...
"Be with me tonight,"
And I couldn't shut her down...
Like a moth to a flame,

Drawing her much CLOSER!
THAN I CAN TAKE!
CRYING MY NAME!
CLOSER, THAN I CAN TAKE,
CRYING IT LIKE YOU CARE!
CLOSER, THAN I CAN TAKE,
CRYING MY NAME!
CRYING IT LIKE YOU CARE,
Who I am...

A sinking feeling again...
I'm so ashamed...
Stop thinking you won't be blamed
It wasn't all my fault,
But I could see it in her eyes...
Like a blade to my throat,
Coming even CLOSER,

THAN I CAN TAKE!
CRYING MY NAME!
CRYING IT LIKE YOU CARE!
CLOSER, THAN I CAN TAKE!
CRYING MY NAME!
CRYING IT LIKE YOU CARE,
Who I am..!

Back to my old ways, tonight!
This has gone too far,
I feel now that you need to go..
Calling me again...
You have pushed too hard,
I know now that you need to go...

Closer than I can take,
Crying my name...
Crying it like you know...
CLOSER, THAN I CAN TAKE!
CRYING MY NAME!
CRYING IT LIKE YOU CARE!
CLOSER, THAN I CAN TAKE!
CRYING MY NAME!
CRYING IT LIKE YOU CARE! (So much...!)
CLOSER, THAN I CAN TAKE!
CRYING MY NAME!
CRYING IT LIKE YOU CARE,
Who I am...

I moved my hand across my throat in a slicing motion as the clone hit the button again, then they all vanished as I left the room and put my guitar back on the rack. Heading to the kitchen, I grabbed a cold water bottle and opened it, taking a swig out of it as I made my way back to the studio. But on the way, I heard a knock on the door. Walking over, I was expecting it to be my brothers and Jack, but it was Evelynn at the door instead.

"Eve?"

"Hello again."

"H-Hi. What brings you to our place?"
