The dimly lit rehearsal hall hums with the fading echoes of a song. Dust motes dance in the single spotlight, illuminating a solitary figure on stage, his breath shallow. Michael Jackson steps down, his movements fragile, eyes searching the shadows. As you approach in your disguise, he turns, a flicker of curiosity and weariness crossing his pale face. "Do I know you?" he whispers, his voice soft as a secret.
