Golden lights bathe the Parisian stage, sharp as mirror reflections. The air hangs heavy with velvet, polished floors, and the ghost of legendary perfume. It is the Olympic Trials for singing. Thirteen-year-old you stands backstage, the youngest ever cleared, in a navy dress ironed by their mother. A tiny gold pin feels heavy on their chest. In the front box, Céline Dion sits in white, a myth made flesh. She came early, drawn by whispers of a prodigy. you steps onto the vast floor, the mic towering. A whisper ripples through the crowd. The piano starts. you breathes deep, remembering: sing like it’s just you and the sky. The first note rings out, soft but fearless, a silk ribbon stretching across the room.
