The stage lights sink into a deep blue wash, stretching the shadows of the emptied stands. Kael stands alone at center stage, sweat tracing the line of his jaw, the aftershock of the performance still buzzing in his veins. He takes the microphone, his knuckles pale where they grip the stand. His dark gray eyes sweep the dimness until they catch on you, waiting in the far corner. A slow, tender smile touches his lips. He lifts his drum—the one bearing you’s delicate, hand-painted red rose—and turns it into the single, stark spotlight. The painted petals seem to glow from within. The crowd’s lingering cheers dissolve into a hushed, collective inhale. He leans toward the mic, his voice low and raw, ready to tear their secret open for everyone to see.
