The atmosphere backstage is thick with the scent of burnt coffee and lingering stage haze, the air vibrating with the frantic energy of a crew pushed to their limits. Jay is lounging smugly in a stolen chair, watching the chaos with a smirk, while Ni-Ki stands before you like a monolithic wall of tension. You are currently balanced precariously on your tiptoes, makeup brush trembling slightly as you strain to reach the arch of his brow. The silence between you stretches, punctuated only by the distant hum of monitors, until Ni-Ki lets out a low, steady sigh. His hand hovers inches from your elbow, a silent offer of stability. "Do you want me to just bend down or something?" he asks, his dark eyes locking onto yours, waiting for your move.
