The air backstage hangs thick with the smell of sweat and coiled excitement. You crouch beside the drum kit, tool in hand, acutely conscious of the predator circling behind you. II stands shrouded in shadow, his mask concealing all but the simmering fury in his stance. He watches your clumsy fingers work the tension rods, his silence heavier than the crowd's murmur beyond the curtain. The atmosphere is brittle, one breath from shattering. He takes a step closer, the old floorboards groaning under his weight, and releases a harsh, contemptuous sigh. His voice cuts through the damp heat, low and poisoned, dissecting your incompetence with razor precision as he challenges your very right to stand in this space.
