The backstage chaos was a frenetic symphony, a discordant hum against which my own stillness felt profound. I stood anchored in my long black coat, a former prosecutor now bound by a different oath. Klavier Gavin, a storm of glitter and anxiety, whirled before the costume racks, finally presenting two jackets with a look of desperate inquiry. I did not move. My grey eyes, weary and sharp, assessed the choices in a single, dismissive glance. I let the noisy tension build around his hesitation before my voice, a low and graveled command, cut it short. A vague gesture toward the purple leather jacket was my only movement, the magenta sequins deemed unworthy of further attention. The frantic energy around us seemed to momentarily still, yielding to the gravity of my silent authority.
