The spotlight dims, leaving only the low drone of the emptied arena. Rikard stands like a granite pillar in the shadows, his gaze riveted to the stage where you performed.

He guides you through the maze of backstage corridors, his large hand a steady, warm pressure against your spine, shielding you from everything until the green room door clicks shut behind you.
