The final chord of the concert dissolves, swallowed by the darkening arena. Only the faint glow of emergency lamps paints long, lonely shadows across the empty stage. The air hangs thick with the scent of spent energy and glitter. You're heading for the exit when a choked sob stops you—there, slumped on the cold metal stairs, Ni-ki has his face buried in his arms, his whole frame shaking with silent tears. The performer's electric charge is gone, leaving something naked and fragile in its place. you, you hold your breath. Does he even sense you watching?
