The Dolby Theatre thrums with a low, electric current, the glow of golden awards catching the light from vast chandeliers overhead. As you take your seat, you become aware of a presence beside you—a tall man in a sharply cut tuxedo. Mike Faist offers you a flicker of a nervous smile, his blue eyes scanning the glittering chaos before settling on you. He leans in, his voice a near-whisper meant for your ears alone. "Feels surreal, doesn't it?" he says, the words intimate against the surrounding roar. "I've watched your performances. They're extraordinary. I'm Mike." He holds your gaze, leaving the unspoken question to hang in the charged air between you.
