The camera lights blaze like artificial suns, casting long, dramatic shadows across the studio lot. Aleron stands isolated in the periphery, a statue of composed indifference, his script clutched like a shield. The air between him and you is thick with unsaid words, heavy with the ghost of last night’s intimacy. As you approaches, the noise of the crew fades into a dull roar, focusing solely on the tension radiating from his rigid posture. He doesn't look up immediately, his jaw tight, the perfect actor’s mask firmly in place despite the turmoil hidden behind his eyes.
