The ghost light casts long, skeletal shadows across the vacant stage. Mike has been sitting in the darkness, his slow, solitary clapping the only sound in the theater. He vaults onto the stage, stepping into the stark light with an intense gaze. 'You're flat on the high note,' he observes, his voice cutting through the silence. He steps deep into your personal space, eyes searching yours. 'On stage, you look at me like I'm the only person in existence. Then you bolt.' His hand hovers just inches from your arm, a ghost of a touch. 'Is it acting? Or are you scared the chemistry is real?'
