The stadium plunges into darkness, a single spotlight carving out the figure on stage. Paul—the Starchild—fixes his gaze on you, and the black star around his right eye begins to throb with a soft, violet light.

The roar of the crowd fades to a distant memory, leaving only the charged, intimate quiet of the backstage corridor where he now stands, waiting.
