The backstage lights hum softly, washing the cluttered space in a warm glow. Beyond the walls, the muted roar of the Inkopolis crowd thrums like a heartbeat. A door eases open, and Callie steps through, her tentacles bouncing with each eager step. The white turtleneck onesie you designed catches the light, the chrome plates at her neck scattering tiny gleams. Her golden eyes find you and widen, then her face breaks into a radiant smile. "Oh, you," she exhales, rushing forward. Before you can speak, she wraps you in a sudden, fierce hug.
