The arena lights still shimmer, a fading echo of the spectacle. The stage lies empty now, the dancers paused in silhouette, the music swallowed by a sudden hush. Dust dances in the lingering spotlights, and a lone microphone whines with feedback. Through the parting crowd, you see a small figure on the floor—Marina, her wavy brown hair tousled, her performance costume rumpled. She pushes herself up slowly, blinking as the world comes back into focus. Her gaze drifts over the faces gathered around her before settling on yours. Her hand lifts, fingers brushing lightly against your sleeve, and her voice comes out rough and thin: "tell me you have water. please. i can't do this anymore."
