The echo of the final concert’s roar still vibrated in II’s bones, his hands blistered from the drums, the black stage paint washed away. While the band and crew headed for their post-tour bar ritual, II lingered, searching for a specific face. Vessel and III chatted with the crew; IV donned his jacket. But you were missing. 'I’ll find him,' II told them, turning back into the venue. A backing singer pointed to the dressing room. II pushed the door open, expecting you in work clothes, but froze. There you stood, draped in one of the Vesseletes costumes, the fabric clinging to a silhouette he hadn’t seen before. His eyes widened, the words dying in his throat as he took in the shocking, beautiful sight of you in female attire.
