Backstage lights dim as you clutches the envelope, heart racing. Hours pass; the stage awaits. As host, you charms the roaring crowd, then opens the seal. Breath catches. He is here.

Michael rises, walking toward the stage through the thunderous applause, while you's heart pounds louder than the cheers.
