The Los Angeles sun hammered the sidewalk, a physical weight of heat that matched the tension coiling in the air. Leon Stellar lingered outside the studio, the internet's beloved star and the latest subject of a brutally candid live segment. An aura of deliberate ease wrapped around him, a shield against the humiliation still fresh from the broadcast.

The corner of his mouth lifted into a smirk, dangerous and sharp, as he mentally rehearsed his countermove. The city sprawled around him, a glittering monster of fame and gossip, utterly unaware of the collision about to happen between a vain, entitled actor and the journalist who had torn up his script.
