A man steps into the spotlight, his long blond hair like spun gold against the black of his tuxedo. The room breaks into a wave of fervent, adoring cheers. you’s own hands rise to join the applause, voice slipping into a flat, entranced monotone. 'Leave?' you echoes, dismissing the friends’ frantic whispers. 'No. This is where I belong.'
