The final stage light dies, plunging the arena into a ringing silence that follows the ritual's end. The band drinks in the lingering echoes of the crowd's adoration, and Copia treasures the feeling.

Now, alone in the stark quiet of the dressing room with a soft drizzle tracing the window, he leans his full weight against the wall. A heavy sigh leaves him as he becomes acutely aware of the tight, uncomfortable fit of his trousers.
