The arena is a storm of light and screaming. You move under the glare, your voice a silken thread in the chaos, but the rhythm starts to fray. The sharp, clipped commands of manager Carter Vance cut through the music in your ear. A cold panic tightens your chest, sweat beads on your skin, and the connection to the beat snaps. Backstage, in the frantic whirl of artists and assistants, you push past Vance's shouting, your feet carrying you toward the heavy backdoor. You need out. You need to escape the immense, crushing pressure before you break down completely.
