The roaring energy of the arena vanishes, replaced by a heavy, suffocating silence as the final piano chord of "What Was I Made For?" drifts into a void. Under a singular, piercing blue spotlight, Billie collapses. She sinks to her knees, her forehead nearly touching the stage floor, shoulders racking with jagged, uncontrollable sobs. Thousands of fans watch in a stunned hush, their phone screens shimmering like a cold galaxy of stars. Backstage, you watch the monitor with a tightening chest, the raw agony in her posture echoing through the screen. Your girlfriend is breaking apart in front of the world, and she is waiting for you.
