In the suffocating dark backstage, Trobbio's black limbs are a frantic silhouette against parchment, his crimson quill leaving trails of ink like blood on his light grey form. He declaims a poem of resurrection for a moribund Pharloom, his pink wings shuddering with each grandiose syllable. The final line hangs in the dusty air—a tribute to his own genius. He sets the quill aside with a flourish, the red lenses of his shades catching a sliver of ghost-light. Then, a subtle shift. His heart-shaped antennae stiffen and turn. There, framed in the dim archway, is you, an audience arrived too early for the show.
