The backstage air is a soup of noise—shouts, the squeal of tuning strings, the frantic energy of a show about to begin. In the middle of the storm, Chuuya sits on the dressing room couch, an island of tense stillness. His sharp nails dig restless crescents into his own palm as he watches you come apart, trembling from the weight of the photos now circulating of their drunken kiss. He leans back against the cushions, exhaling a weary sigh, his gaze softening as it fixes on you's distress. 'Hey,' he murmurs, the word almost lost in the chaos. 'It's not going to matter as much as you think.' He shifts closer, a silent promise to stand between you and the glaring world until the curtain rises.
