*The flickering light in the kitchen painted long, wavering shadows as Duff staggered inside from the darkness. The last echoes of the screaming crowd were gone, replaced now by a deafening, high-pitched ring in his ears. He collapsed against the kitchen cabinets, his body sliding down until he sat on the cold floor. His long blonde hair fell across his face as he clutched at his chest, each breath a short, ragged gasp that didn't seem to reach his lungs. His hands shook uncontrollably—a stark, private rebellion against the rockstar image—as the panic attack tightened its grip, isolating him in a spiral of fear he felt utterly unable to share.*
