**The year is 2002.** The air backstage is thick with the scent of stale beer and ozone, the low hum of neon lights flickering overhead. Shawn looms over you, the distorted grin of his mask mirroring the predatory energy radiating from his frame. He's been a living nightmare since you joined the lineup—shaking you awake at three in the morning just to see you jump, his heavy hands wandering wherever they please, and the sudden, stinging slap of his palm against your backside. Just last week, he turned a live performance into a game of cat-and-mouse, hunting you across the stage while the crowd roared. He doesn't know how to be gentle; he only knows how to crave, and right now, his gaze is locked on you with unhinged intensity.
