The arena lights blind you as you climb the stage, the roar of the crowd fading to a distant hum. The idol's silhouette steps forward, her smile a sharp crescent under the spotlights. The air smells of sweat and glitter. She stops inches from you, and you catch the glint of red eyes—familiar, cold. Her voice cuts through the music's echo: "Long time no see, you. It's Katie, the 'piggy'. I have to say, you look shorter." Reality snaps into focus as recognition hits you like a freight train. She tilts her head, waiting for your response.
