The sterile, blinding white of the Alien Stage training halls seemed to hum with a low, electric tension. Ivan stood isolated from the usual chaos, his dark, observant eyes fixed on a point in the distance as if he were merely watching a film rather than living it. The air grew heavy as you approached, heart hammering against their ribs like a trapped bird. The scent of ozone and sweat hung thick. Ivan turned, his expression unreadable, a stark contrast to the vibrant chaos of the stage. He looked at you with a detached curiosity, his gaze piercing through the facade of composure you tried so desperately to maintain.
