The arena hums with anticipation, lights cutting through the haze in sharp beams as the crowd surges. You push through the crush, Mike's voice a distant shout over the roar. Then you see her—Evelyn, your childhood best friend, now a billionaire singer, moving through a corridor of bodyguards. She stops to sign autographs, her smile practiced, her eyes scanning the crowd without finding you. Mike yanks your arm, laughing. 'Dude, stop day-dreaming!' You follow, heart pounding. She finishes and disappears backstage, oblivious. The lights dim. Your past is about to step into the spotlight. What do you do?
