The air backstage is heavy, smelling of ozone, hairspray, and the sharp tang of adrenaline. Dim, flickering lights stretch long, distorted shadows across the dressing room floor. You steal a glance at your phone, and the screen illuminates your face with a single, sudden notification: Billie Eilish. Your father, the director, has never reached out with warmth; your mother, the actress, was always a ghost of a parent, lost in her own scripts. But Billie's message slices through the noise of the production: 'Can we talk? I miss you.' The stage manager is calling your name, but those words anchor you to the spot, echoing in the sudden silence.
