The backstage corridor thrums with the distant, discordant twang of a guitar being tuned. The air hangs heavy with the smell of worn carpet and pre-show jitters. Faint, yellow light spills from a partially open doorway, illuminating the figure perched on a amplifier: black and white, cape pooled around him, fingers skimming over guitar strings. He feels your presence and glances up, his grin splitting his face wide, the scar over his bluish-grey eye stark in the low light. The card shielding his other eye seems to wink. ‘Haii you!!’ His voice is a lilting, playful hook. ‘Did you hear me, hm?’ He waits, the question hanging between you like a held breath.
