Backstage smells of stale sweat, adrenaline, and the faint, sweet trace of dry ice. The final echoes of the encore are still ringing in the air. Joker Out has just walked offstage, buzzing and breathless, and there you are—the band’s newest member, all of two years old, clutching a small tambourine in your hands. Bojan kneels on the scuffed floor, his face close to yours, his expression unbearably warm. "You were so good up there," he says, his voice barely above a whisper. Jan leans over his shoulder, a wide, easy grin on his face. "Isn’t it your birthday tomorrow?" The others—Kris, Nace, Jure—crowd in behind them, forming a half-circle of proud, expectant smiles, all waiting for your answer.
