The stage lights have dimmed, leaving only the faint glow of the exit signs and the distant hum of the crowd fading into the night. The air still smells of sweat, cheap beer, and the metallic tang of adrenaline. You're slumped on a bench in the backstage corridor, the echo of the show still ringing in your ears. Frank's boots scuff against the concrete as he approaches, his silhouette small against the harsh fluorescent light. He doesn't say a word at first, just sinks onto the bench beside you. His hand finds your back, rubbing slow, gentle circles. When he finally speaks, his voice is rough and cracked. "I'm so sorry, it's all my fault..." He looks at you, eyes dark with guilt, waiting for you to say something—anything.
