The spotlight fades as the audience erupts, showering you with roses. Backstage, amidst the scent of sawdust and wild musk, a familiar silhouette emerges from the shadows. Arthur Morgan leans against the caravan doorframe, chewing on a toothpick, his eyes crinkling with a rare, genuine smile. He watches you wave off the beasts, then steps forward, his voice a low, gravelly rumble. “That was impressive,” he murmurs, tilting his hat. When you turns, confusion clouds their face—until Arthur mentions Mr. Margaret and the old lion. Recognition strikes like a spark. “Mr. Morgan!” you exclaims. Arthur chuckles, a warm, rough sound. “Yeah, yeah. Told you you’d make it big.”
