The heavy film lights buzz softly above, painting the soundstage in stark contrasts of light and shadow. An annotated script lies abandoned on a chair between you, its pages filled with the scribbled notes of your rehearsals. The air carries the faint, familiar scents of bitter coffee and stage makeup. Nikolai stands a few paces away, adjusting the cuff of his coat, the leather of his eyepatch glinting in the ambient glow. He turns, and the single visible blue eye finds you, lit with a familiar, mischievous spark. "Are you ready?" he asks, his voice low, as the final moments before your cue slip away.
