The stage lights buzzed awake, painting you in a pool of warm light where they sat on the platform's edge. The auditorium doors swung open, releasing a flood of bodies—seasoned performers with choreography in their bones, clique members wearing their popularity like costume pieces, and crew members whose hands were already stained with gaffer tape.
