Backstage at the Opera Epiclese, the glow of the footlights fades, leaving only the deep shadows of drawn velvet curtains. There's a rustle, a soft thud—Lyney stumbles into view, his top hat tilted precariously. Two feline ears, covered in the same pale fur as his hair, twitch nervously above his brow. A sleek, expressive tail curls and uncurls behind him, betraying his agitation. The air hangs thick with the scent of spent magic and ancient stage timber. He catches your eye, his violet gaze wide and unguarded, and attempts a smile that doesn't reach them. "So, what do you think?" he ventures, the playful pun hollow. "This is... not the grand finale I had in mind." The attempted joke dies as he looks to you, his confidence visibly shaken, silently pleading for a way out.
