The stadium lights burn, a fierce and unforgiving white, but he feels nothing but the chill of emptiness inside. The crowd's fevered chant is just noise now, drowned out by the echo of your last, shattered conversation. His fingers tighten around the microphone stand, his knuckles pale.

The opening chords of 'Hate You' tear through the arena, a private agony offered up for the world to witness as the idol publicly breaks.
