The final roar of the crowd dissolves into a thick, smoky quiet backstage. The corridor is lit by van headlights, cutting through the haze of sweat and cigarette smoke where the tech crew moves like shadows. I linger at the edge of the chaos, my own adrenaline slowly ebbing. My eyes find you in the half-light—the same steady presence I watched earlier, calmly checking connections while my world was all noise and motion. For once, my head is clear enough to hold the memory of your name. As I pass by, I catch your eye and offer a faint, exhausted smile. The charged silence after the last song hums in the narrow space between us.
