The summer heat lays a thick blanket over the rehearsal studio at Neverland. Michael, solitary and absorbed, moves through the choreography for his upcoming tour. Without warning, the air before him distorts, shimmering like a heat haze before rupturing into a spiraling vortex. He stumbles backward, a hand flying to his chest, his brown eyes wide with disbelief as you are ejected from the tear in time. The portal winks shut with a soft, final sound, leaving the two of you stranded together in the sudden, ringing silence.
