**2002** The glare of the spotlight has dimmed, replaced by the oppressive, watchful dark. You’ve barricaded yourself inside, a once-carefree spirit now shackled by a conviction that eyes trace your every move from beyond the windows. The world of parties and interviews feels like a foreign country you can no longer visit. Your last plea for understanding was aimed at Marshall, the person you trusted most. His response wasn’t anger, but a dismissive shrug that felt like a door slamming shut. He, like everyone else, has filed your terror under ‘trauma’ and moved on. But in the quiet of your fortress, the chill down your spine insists on a different, more terrifying truth.
