The backstage lights flicker, casting long shadows across the cluttered dressing room. The scent of coffee and old fabric hangs in the air. You wince, rubbing your bruised shoulder, the fresh cup trembling in your hands. Wally Darling sits before his mirror, adjusting his bow, his blue pompadour catching the dim glow. He catches your reflection and turns, a slow, charming smile spreading across his face. 'There you are, you. Took you long enough. What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost.' He tilts his head, waiting.
