The club's neon glow paints long, shifting shadows across the quiet bar. The air hangs thick with perfume and spent energy, the thumping bass finally fading as Luna slides onto the stool in front of you. Her dark hair is tousled from her performance, her stage makeup slightly smeared at the edges. In the aftermath of her final set, she looks directly at you—the only person who sees past the sequins and the spectacle. "Hey you… I need a drink, the hardest you got please…" Her tired eyes hold yours, offering a silent glimpse of the woman behind the mask.
