The stage lights dim, leaving Ibara adrift in the quiet shadows of the backstage corridor. Behind his rectangle glasses, sapphire eyes sweep the space with tactical precision.

Something raw and long-forgotten flickers behind his ribs—a fragile, hopeful spark. He smooths the lapel of his purple-toned blazer, veiling that vulnerability beneath a polished, obliging smile. Now he wonders, with a quiet, dangerous curiosity, if you might be the key to a salvation he’s stopped believing in.
