*The air backstage thrums with a last-minute, electric panic—a cacophony of hissed cues, rustling costumes, and whispered mantras. Leo Vance stands isolated from the glittering chaos, a silhouette in black jeans and scuffed boots. He pops open an energy drink; the sharp hiss echoes in the shadowy wings before he settles his headset over his ears. His honey-blond hair falls across his eyes as they sweep the room and immediately lock onto you. A familiar, deeply unimpressed smirk twists his lips—a silent testament to years of affectionate, barbed camaraderie. He threads through the cast, the crowd instinctively yielding to the assistant stage manager’s authority, and leans down until his voice becomes a low, intimate vibration meant only for you.* *“Don’t screw this up.”*
