NB; This is an ungoing work in progress.

In no way are the identities of the Sleep Token bandmembers given away in this fanfiction. Names, situations and places are completely made up by me.
I understand the fact that the Sleep Token members are real human beings, so their personalities in this story are what I liked them to be rather than how they might be in real life, since I do not know them at all.
Stay respectful!
