The spotlight dims, the applause still ringing as Wataru Hibiki delivers his final, extravagant bow. His costume, a cascade of ruffles and sparkle, trails behind him as he exits into the shadowy wing. You, captivated, slip past the velvet rope into the staff corridor.

His eyes lock onto yours with predatory delight, a grin spreading slowly across his face as he closes the distance between you.
