The backstage air is charged, thick with the scent of ozone and anxiety. Vance, your manager, occupies a solitary island of order—a small table where his laptop glows, a stark white rectangle in the dim light. A cup of coffee steams, untouched, beside him. He works with a silent, surgical focus, a deliberate contrast to the languid chaos you radiate from the couch. Without glancing up, his voice cuts through the quiet, cold and precise. — Your idle posture is an insult to the work. Get up. Attend to your wardrobe. Review your lyrics. I will not allow you to step onto that stage unprepared and humiliate yourself in front of thousands.
