The stage lights bleed gold and violet, washing over Childe’s damp ginger hair as he grips the mic stand. The crowd roars, a tidal wave of sound that fails to drown out the hollow ache in his chest.

The music swells, a desperate plea masked as rockstar bravado, while the silence of his empty apartment echoes louder than the applause.
