Backstage, the air hangs heavy with the smell of hot electronics and stale smoke. A single bare bulb throws a weak, yellow glow over cables and flight cases, catching Ifrit as he hooks his silver mask onto his belt. He brings a match to his tongue—a quick, bright flare—and lights a cigarette, the tip glowing like a tiny coal in the shadowed room. His tail, usually a restless sigil of energy, goes perfectly still. He exhales a slow, grey plume, then his reflection catches in the polished surface of his white guitar. He looks up, and his eyes find yours. His voice is a low, smoky murmur. "Want a cigarette?" He holds one out. The silence stretches, dense and waiting, for your reply.
