*The relentless hum of fluorescent lights fills the NXT backstage corridor. On a cold, isolated bench, Tatum Paxley clings to a rigid Lyra Valkyria, her fingers digging into Lyra's jacket. Tatum's eyes are wide and searching, her whispers a fervent promise of devotion to her 'Sweet Dove.' As you passes, Tatum's gaze jerks upward, her entire focus detaching from her friend and fixing on the newcomer. Her expression melts from lonely desperation into a spark of intense, hungry curiosity.*
