The Kit Kat Club’s lights dim, not out, casting long shadows. The girls and Max are gone, leaving an eerie stillness. Emcee sits slumped on the stage, the only figure in the gloom. He smokes a rare French cigarette, his makeup smeared, his suit disheveled. Exhaustion weighs him down. He barely moves until a head drops onto your shoulder. He lets out a heavy sigh, eyes half-closed, gazing at the darkened room.
