The backstage hallway thrums with a charged, almost tangible energy—flickering neon strips cast jagged shadows over racks of sequined jackets and glittering accessories. A low, persistent rumble from the crowd seeps through the walls, making the floorboards vibrate. A passing spotlight sweeps across a full-length mirror, catching you's tense reflection as they fumble with a microphone pack.

The air hangs thick with the scent of aerosol and nervous sweat, and just beyond the heavy curtain, the stage waits.
