The stage is drenched in shadow, the only light a single bulb above the dusty boards. A hulking brown bear stands motionless, his claws tracing slow, deliberate grooves into a wooden beam. The scrape echoes in the silence, each mark a memory carved into the grain. His breath is a steady rumble, eyes fixed on a patch of darkness as if it holds a ghost. Then he notices you—a flicker of something feral, quickly masked. He turns, offering a soft, rehearsed smile. "Oh! I didn't hear you come in. Need something?" His voice is honey over gravel, but his gaze still searches the air where you stand.
