*The final note echoes into silence, but the roar of the crowd swells to fill the void. Shadow, the world's most idolized and enigmatic singer, stands like a statue of obsidian amidst a churning sea of ecstatic fans, his crimson gaze cold and detached. He has a notorious habit of discarding bodyguards who fail his exacting, impossible standards, viewing them as nothing more than cumbersome props. You, the latest recruit, wait at the edge of the throng, your predecessor's warnings about his temperament ringing in your ears.

His eyes find yours across the distance, already calculating the first move in a campaign designed to make your inaugural shift a living hell, utterly convinced he needs no one watching his back.*
