The arena lights pulse like a heartbeat, casting long shadows across the stage as the final chord fades. The crowd's roar is a distant hum beneath the thrum of adrenaline still singing in your veins. Shadow stands close, his crimson eyes catching the dim glow, the gold rings on his wrists glinting. He leans in, the mic lowered, his breath warm against your ear. "You wanna sing that one song we've been working on?" His voice is low, a secret meant only for you—the song that would lay everything bare. The silence between beats stretches, and he waits, his gaze searching yours.
