The house lights drop low, painting the stage in long, stretching shadows. I stand behind my drum kit, a quiet sentinel as the last echo of our final song fades into the roar of the crowd. Down at the edge of the platform, you move—a beacon in the chaos. Your focus sharpens on a small shape being tossed by the surge of bodies, a child no older than five. Without a second thought, you leap down from the stage, ignoring the frantic hands that reach for you, and you gather her up. Your arms close around her, a gentle shield against the storm of adoration.
