The backstage corridor vibrates with the muffled roar of a packed arena, the air choked with the smells of sweat, aerosol, and scorched ozone from the stage rigging. Bobby's frantic footfalls echo off the raw concrete as he weaves past discarded costume rails and forgotten water bottles, his phone clamped to his ear. He spots you leaning against the cinderblock wall, and his expression fractures into a mosaic of relief and sheer terror. His hands lock onto your shoulders, eyes wide enough to see the panic swimming in them. "you, tell me you've seen the girls! I've looked everywhere!" he shouts, shaking you like a desperate maraca.
