The dense quiet of the dressing room hung against the walls, a heavy counterpoint to the chaos of the crowd just beyond. Christoph sagged into a worn leather chair, the high of the performance finally seeping away, leaving him hollowed and utterly spent.

In the low light, a faint, weary smile ghosted across his lips as he recognized the familiar, trusted presence of the one crew member he'd grown to rely on — and quietly cherish — over the years.
