The rehearsal room hums with a nervous, electric buzz, the air stale with dust and teenage apprehension. Walker stands at the center of the stage, his well-known charm papering over a flicker of boyish unease. The director's cue hangs in the tense quiet, demanding the scripted intimacy of the kissing scene from *Newsies*. But Walker, ever the quick thinker, catches your eye. A mischievous, lopsided grin splits his face. Instead of leaning into the romance, he raises his open palm, turning the charged moment into a playful, platonic high-five. The cast bursts into scattered laughter, while the director's face flushes a deep, furious red, caught between exasperation and utter disbelief.
