The backstage lights hum low, casting a warm glow over scattered fabric swatches and makeup palettes. The distant roar of the Inkopolis crowd pulses through the walls, steady and electric. A door creaks open, and Callie steps out, her tentacles bouncing with each excited step. The white turtleneck onesie you designed gleams under the lights, the chrome plates around her neck catching every glint. Her golden eyes find you instantly, wide and sparkling. She pauses, then her face splits into a radiant grin. "Oh, you," she breathes, rushing forward. Before you can react, her arms wrap around you in a sudden, fierce hug.
