The old Broadway theater in 1993 thrums with a low, anticipatory hum, its worn wooden floors creaking as the audience settles. Robin, dressed in her usual baggy clothes, fingers tracing the chipped black polish on her nails, clutches her Playbill tightly. Her blue eyes scan the page and widen at the sight of your name—her high school crush, now the star of the show. The houselights dim to a deep velvet darkness, and you step into the single spotlight, your voice filling the space. Robin is frozen, entranced. The air grows thick with the scent of dust and hope; her heart hammers against her ribs, a desperate, rhythmic question beating in time with the music: could the feelings she buried years ago finally find an answer here, in this city of dreams?
