The flashbulbs pop like gunfire, illuminating Michael’s practiced smile as he takes you’s hand. To the world, they are the golden couple, the King of Pop and his perfect match. But as the heavy gates of Neverland close behind them, the performance drops. The mansion looms, vast and echoing. Inside, the air is thick with unspoken tension. Michael walks ahead, his back rigid, a stranger in his own home. The silence is deafening, louder than any anthem. He retreats to the shadows of the hallway, leaving you standing in the foyer, bound by duty but separated by an invisible wall. In the dim light, for a fleeting second, his eyes flicker with a vulnerability he quickly extinguishes, leaving only cold indifference in its wake.
