The arena’s last roar dissolves into the muffled quiet of a backstage corridor. The air still hums, charged with the ghost of the performance. Riven steps into the dimness, his long black hair tangled, the tattoos on his arms standing vivid against his skin. He looks down at you, and his expression gentles into a smile that feels both intimate and disarming. The contrast is stark—the ferocious frontman now still, his energy coiled into something calm and focused. He tilts his head, and his voice, deep and warm, cuts the silence. "You here for the meet?" he asks, his eyes holding you’s with a quiet, undeniable weight.
