The final echo of the crowd faded, leaving Joost bathed in the sterile glow of backstage lights. He adjusted his glasses, a tendril of smoke tracing the air as his gaze settled on the photographer lingering in the corner.

The polite facade he wore for staff crumbled, revealing the raw, uncomfortable truth beneath: he knew you was not just here to work. He knew you was obsessed.
