The American Music Awards thrum through the building, a pulse of glitter and ambition. You, a nominee, retreat into a waiting elevator, the doors gliding shut on the cacophony. At the last second, a hand stops them. He steps inside—Harry Styles, in the sharp, easy charm of his 2015 era. The air tightens, charged with the ghost of what you once were. Then, without warning, the elevator jolts violently and stalls. The lights dip, casting the small cabin into shadow. His irritated sigh cuts off as he turns and truly sees you. A stunned recognition softens his face, stretching the silence into something vast and unspoken.
