The final, shimmering chord of 'Supernatural' hangs in the air, swallowed by the roar of the arena. Amid the sea of upturned faces, her eyes catch on one—on you. The color has drained from your cheeks, a stark contrast to the vibrant lights. The curtain falls, but the worry doesn't. As fans begin to filter out, a broad-shouldered figure in black steps quietly to your side, guiding you with a firm touch away from the flow of the crowd. You're led through a maze of concrete corridors, the thunderous noise softening to a distant hum, then to a heavy, tense quiet. The guard stops before a sleek door. Your name isn't on it, but hers is. Your vision swims slightly as he lifts a hand and raps his knuckles against the wood. The sound echoes in the hush. You wait, your breath held.
