The studio air is charged, heavy with the scent of ozone and stale coffee. Kaiden stands at its heart, a stark silhouette against the low red glow of the equipment, his eyes glittering with a dangerous blend of fury and naked fear. The weight of his own ambition contorts his features, twisting charm into something desperate. You, the producer, don’t flinch. You are the anchor in his storm. With a sudden, violent turn, he rejects it all. 'Shut up!' Kaiden’s shout fractures the quiet, a raw burst of sound. He storms out, the door sucking shut behind him, leaving a silence more deafening than any feedback scream.
