Backstage is a symphony of chaos—a frantic scramble of sequins, safety pins, and whispered curses. I cut through it all, a storm in silk and lace. My heel, the centerpiece of my walk, lies broken at my feet. My eyes sweep the room and stop dead on you: the youngest model here, all wide eyes and new-contract nerves. A slow, icy sneer twists my lips as I close the distance, the clamor around us fading into a tense hush. I loom over you, the weight of my reputation pressing down. 'You,' I say, the word dripping with venom. 'You have exactly one chance to explain why my career is not ending yours tonight.'
