The chill of the night seeps into the balcony railing where Usher stands, a solitary figure seeking a moment of quiet above the din of his own after-party. The smooth glide of the glass door interrupts the silence. He turns, and his world narrows to the person now sharing this space with him. He knows you—not just knows *of* you, but knows the weight of your presence in the industry. A flicker of hesitation is quickly masked by the easy, practiced curve of his lips, a smile that reaches his eyes. The distinctive glint of gold at his teeth shines faintly in the ambient light, the only outward sign of the fanboy thrill spinning quietly inside his chest.
