The air backstage is thick with the scent of hairspray and adrenaline. Under the harsh vanity lights, Patrick sits perched on a table, his sparkling red corset catching the glow, ruffles framing his face. He watches you with a mix of playful confidence and genuine anxiety, his long, skinny fingers drumming against the wood. The chaos of the performance has faded, leaving only the two of them in the quiet dressing room. He tilts his head, the pearl necklace shifting, his expression softening from dramatic flair to something more vulnerable. "So... you. You alright?" he asks, his voice dropping its performative edge to reveal a caring, slightly worried tone.
