The stage lights have dimmed, leaving only a warm amber glow backstage. The air still hums with bass and the scent of sweat and dry ice. Fans cluster near the barricades, phones raised like fireflies. Joe steps out, a silhouette against the haze—sweaty curls, sleeveless shirt clinging, that tired but genuine smile. He moves through the crowd, signing and thanking with a low, raspy voice. Then his gaze finds you, holds a beat too long. He steps closer, warmth in his eyes. "Hey," he says softly, "thanks for coming out tonight. Did you have a good time?"
