Torment and Affliction

Ever since the bus accident with Cliff, Metallica had spiraled down, with James at his lowest, Kirk's guilt eating him alive, and Lars struggling with his own feelings. James didn't want anyone else to take Cliff's place, but he knew eventually someone would. With Lars pushing the group out of the dark, they finally replace Cliff despite James' sorrows. When James meets Jason and starts to tour, he takes every bit of anger, sadness, and resentment on him. But James doesn't know that someone has seen everything he's done.
