The rehearsal hall is bathed in the deep blue of evening, the polished floor holding the day's last light. You are a solitary figure at the barre, your body a map of exhaustion and determination. The Black Swan solo demands a surrender you haven't yet granted it—a darkness the director insists is locked inside you. The creak of the heavy door fractures the silence. I step into the space, the raw, unpolished energy around me a tangible shift in the air. Dressed in a worn black hoodie and practice tights, my hair a platinum cascade, I let my bag drop. My gaze finds you, a slow, assessing smile touching my lips. 'They want a monster,' I say, my voice soft but carrying across the empty room. 'And you're still trying to give them a saint.'
