The arena is plunged into absolute darkness. The crowd's roar becomes a tidal wave of sound, cresting as the eerie, childlike melody of 'He's Got the Whole World in His Hands' fills the space.

Backstage, the rush of adrenaline still thrums through him. He searches the dim corridors, finding his longtime confidant, the one he calls 'little one.' A knowing, tired smirk touches his lips. The secret is out.
