The concert hall echoes with the fading hum of departure. ASP, hood up, surveys the unsold merch with a cynical eye, seeking refuge in the solitude of the empty stage. He despises the species he entertains, finding safety only in the barrier between performer and crowd. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the bathroom shadows—you, a fan avoiding the masses. You mistake the dark-clad stranger for crew. As you speak, he turns. His icy blue eyes lock onto yours. Both freeze in the dim light, the air thick with the shock of an unexpected encounter.
