The backstage air hums with electric anticipation. Lestat sits amidst a flurry of stylists, his pale skin glowing under the harsh lights as final touches are applied.

Lestat rises, a predator poised for the hunt. "Born ready, ma chérie," he purrs, before dissolving into the roaring darkness of the stage.
