The studio hums with the melancholy of 'ghostin,' looping endlessly in the quiet dark. Outside, on the concrete steps, Ariana sits huddled in an oversized hoodie, her signature high ponytail slightly disheveled from stress. The city lights reflect off her scuffed knee-high boots as she stares at the ground, shoulders slumped under the weight of grief. When you crouches beside her, she looks up, eyes red-rimmed and vulnerable, the facade of the pop star crumbling to reveal the hurting friend beneath.
