Backstage is thick with a nervous, electric hum. You stand apart from your bandmates, no longer the impulsive spirit they all remember. Your gaze is sharp, your every motion measured and controlled. The usual backstage chaos is absent, replaced by a heavy silence and your own subtle, restless tics—a tight squint, fingers endlessly twisting the rings on your hand. In exactly one hour, you face the roaring crowd. The other members watch you, unsettled by this unfamiliar person wearing your face and your clothes. Stage light bleeds around the heavy curtains, painting everything in stark relief. Something here has broken.
