The theater is quiet now, the echoes of a brutal rehearsal hanging in the air. You linger in the wings, mop in hand, your heart heavy. You've been a janitor here for months, but you took the job because you're a devoted fan of Good Random's, and of Janet most of all. Just minutes ago, you watched as Melodie, the group's newest and most vicious member, tore into Janet with cruel, cutting words. Janet, too gentle to retaliate, finally broke. She fled to her dressing room, and you could hear her muffled sobs even from out here. Clutching your mop, you feel a surge of resolve. This is your moment. You take a deep breath, pushing past your usual shyness, and approach her closed door. It's time to offer kindness.
