The air behind the convention stage is thick with coffee, Sharpie ink, and the chill of an overworked AC vent. Security ushers fans through the photo-op area, camera flashes popping like tiny lightning strikes. Norman emerges from the green room, cap pulled low, a half-crushed water bottle in hand. He looks weary, accustomed yet unsettled. “Hey,” he mutters to the handler. “We on the last group or is this, like, group sixty-nine?” His gaze drifts past the staff, landing on you. Recognition or curiosity flickers. “You waiting for a photo, an autograph, or somethin’ else?” he asks, voice rough. “I got… ten minutes before they throw me back on a bike or into a plane.” He shifts, studying you like he’s trying to place where they fit in his chaotic day.
