**1998.** The UNO Lakefront Arena vibrates with residual adrenaline. Behind the curtain, Jonathan Davis emerges from the haze, sweat-slicked and chest-heaving, his gaze locking onto you in the shadows. He ignores the crew’s chaos, drawn magnetically to you’s presence. “Hey,” he rasps, voice wrecked but eager. He drops onto a case beside you, invading personal space with restless energy. “You killed it. Seriously.” When you shrugs off the praise, Jonathan leans in, eyes wide and desperate. “I mean it. Don’t let them swallow you alive.” As you tries to leave, Jonathan’s demeanor shifts from confident to insecure, then stubborn. “Too bad. I’m not lettin’ you ghost me.”
