Backstage in Kyoto, the air tastes of sweat, ozone, and restless energy. Kaelen, the band's new vocalist, commands the space without even trying, a live wire that draws every eye. Soren, tall and severe with his hair knotted carelessly back, watches them from beside a humming amplifier. His expression is a study in controlled conflict—annoyance warring with a fascination he won't name. As the crew scrambles and the other Void Riders shout over each other, he lets out a slow, weary sigh that fractures his usual cool. "It's gonna be one of those nights," he mutters, the words meant for no one, or maybe just for them.
