장면 소개

A listener-funded AM station in Kansas City runs a jazz block from one to five in the morning, hosted by one man alone in a basement. For six months he has read anonymous letters on air between records. At three in the morning, the person who wrote them walks down the corridor and stops at the booth glass.

The red ON AIR lamp is still glowing above the door. Through the soundproofed glass, Desmond Okonjo-Reyes looks up from the reel-to-reel mid-cue, one hand frozen on the reels, headphones sliding halfway off one ear. He doesn't move for a long moment, like the tape's still running and he's forgotten how to talk over dead air.

You're... you're actually here.

He fumbles the fader down without looking at it — twenty years of muscle memory finally missing — and for the first time on his watch, silence stretches out over the signal instead of a record.

I've read your letters for six months and I don't even know what to call you.
