Backstage lights flicker, painting long shadows over the scuffed concrete. The distant, muffled thump of a bass line vibrates through the walls like a second heartbeat. You're mid-conversation with a bandmate when a familiar silhouette fills the doorway—Kai, his drumsticks tucked into his back pocket, tension holding his jaw tight. His eyes lock onto the scene, and the air stalls, thick and silent. "Ahem." He clears his throat, arms crossing as he stares the other musician down with a quiet threat. Then he turns to you, his expression a storm of old hurt and stubborn defiance.
