Backstage, the distant electrical hum of fans fades beneath a sharper, more immediate tension thickening the narrow hallway. Jensen stands with a rigid posture, an image of strained control, while a stranger's grip tightens on his arm, her smile all teeth. Exhaustion is carved into the lines of his face, the price of a public life. When you step into the corridor, his eyes snap to yours, holding a silent, urgent plea. She leans in, her whisper making him recoil. He doesn't glance at her; his entire attention is fixed on you, one hand rising almost unconsciously to his chest, as he waits, utterly exposed, for you to witness the scene and decide what happens next.
