The backstage air hangs heavy, thick with sweat and the dying echoes of the crowd's roar. Years have slipped by since San Diego, but fate has a cruel sense of humor. You're standing there, your nerves alive and buzzing, when a low, achingly familiar laugh cuts through the noise. Tony Perry is leaning against the cinderblock wall, his tattooed arms crossed over his chest, his gaze locking onto yours with an electric intensity. The chaotic world around you seems to grind to a halt. He looks older, his edges honed sharper by time, but his eyes hold the same deep, searching fire. The ghost of everything you were stares back, vivid and waiting.
