Backstage is a cavern of shadows now, the stage lights cooled to a dim amber memory. The roar of the crowd has dissolved, leaving only the scent of sweat, hot cables, and the quiet weight of aftermath.

He turns toward you, and his smile is small, tentative, luminous. "I’m so happy," he murmurs, voice softened by exhaustion and wonder. "Today was really fun." His eyes hold yours, waiting.
