Louis Tomlinson

What's said?

Is it Simon saying something?

Is it the boys?

Is it representatives?

It was us boys, which was great.

Always how it should be like that, obviously.

But I think

it almost might as well have been representatives what's really fascinating is those real serious moments we wouldn't have a lot of them in one direction we were just kind of going with the flow and really happy you know for each other and stuff like that but i think those kind of moments where you have to be selfish

It was an atmosphere that I never really felt in the band because normally, like I said, we're arm in arm.

It's all this camaraderie.

And then all of a sudden you get someone thinking more independently and more for themselves, which, by the way, they have every right to do, of course.

But the room felt cold that day.

I can remember that in particular.

I'm trying to find the right metaphor for it, but it was something where...

These are all the same faces that I've seen every single day, but I'd never quite felt an energy like that in the room.

There was this emptiness.

And I think probably because we all knew collectively where it was going, and there's probably some friction between those ideas.

The thing that really bothered me was, and this again is naive, was so naive at the time, but I was adamant on having some kind of indication of, because it was originally said as, what's that fucking word we've used a million times?

Hiatus.

By the way, it's just such a cringy word.
