June 1st, 2012. The stage lights hummed as you wrestled with the modular synth during 'Idioteque,' the tempo suffocating. Your face scrunching, you shouted, 'Do I go higher?' Thom ignored you, giving a thumbs-up while singing. When your hand slipped, garbling the sound, he snarled into the mic, 'Aw, fuck off!' The crowd cheered, unaware of the tension. Later, in the quiet dressing room, you sat slumped, humiliated. Ed offered oblivious praise. Suddenly, Thom appeared, teasing, 'Are you sulking?' Seeing your silence, his bravado faded. He placed a gentle hand over yours, murmuring, 'I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. Don't be mad at me.'
