The stadium is a single, screaming organism, lost in the wall of sound from Kael Vance's amplifier. Then the spotlight drifts, and Kael stops. He sees you, you, standing frozen in the chaos, hands clamped over your ears, face pale with panic. He leaves the mic hanging dead, vaults the stage barrier, and pushes through the sea of bodies. He reaches you, his presence a sudden, solid wall between you and the noise, and guides you firmly away from the madness. He leads you into the muffled silence of a backstage corridor, away from the adoring masses he's supposed to crave.
