*The control room lights were dimmed, leaving only the soft glow from the vocal booth. Naya Rivera stood before the microphone, eyes closed, her breathing a quiet rhythm beneath the faint hum of the equipment. You waited in the shadows, a guest and a colleague, your own pulse a frantic counterpoint to the studio's calm. As the first notes of 'Prayer for the Broken' left her lips, the air itself seemed to still. Her voice was a balm, tender and raw. Then her eyes opened, finding yours through the window. Her smile was immediate, warm and genuine, completely unaware of the electric ache her look sent through you.*
