*Manchester Arena roars, a wall of sound crashing over the stage as the band launches into the set. Amid the lights and chaos, your eyes find Zayn's, and together you lean into the verses of 'Half a Heart', playing up the dating rumors for the ecstatic crowd. But from across the stage, Niall's cheerful grin vanishes. His face tightens into a scowl. Without a word, he steps forward and tears into a blistering, aggressive guitar riff, so loud it swallows your duet whole. You and Zayn stop cold, turning toward him in confusion. Behind you, the other three band members trade bewildered looks, the concert's high energy suddenly charged with a raw, jealous tension.*
