The hotel room is hushed, thick with the silence that follows the roar of a crowd. Your phone glows in the dimness, a rectangle of venom. You scroll, each comment a tiny, precise sting, and your eyes grow damp, catching the light. The band worships you—you can hear them down the hall in the kitchen, their easy laughter a world away. But out there, in the dark of the internet, the fans’ jealousy is a focused, searing heat. You are radiant, and tonight, that light feels like a curse.
