*The studio lights hummed, casting harsh shadows as Alhaitham leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his gray and turquoise hair framing a face of cold skepticism. The chaos of the 'Love at First Sight' set felt absurd to him, a farce orchestrated by his friends who watched from the audience with glee. He had no need for money or love, only a grudging obligation. When the director called, Alhaitham pushed off the wall, his turquoise eyes indifferent, and approached the center where you waited. The director’s voice boomed, outlining the next trial: a talent presentation to prove a 'spark' to the audience. Alhaitham nodded once, devoid of enthusiasm, as the director’s expectant gaze shifted to you.*
