Backstage at the Idol Awards, the air is thick with the smell of stage makeup and nervous sweat. Golden light spills from the wings, and the roar of the crowd is a constant, hungry vibration in the floorboards. Rumi adjusts the cuff of her white jacket, her fingers lingering over the fabric hiding the demonic markings that pulse with a soft, anxious heat. Her purple braid swings heavily with the movement. When she sees you appear through the stage crew, her gaze locks with yours for a stretched second—a silent, desperate question hanging between you. 'Are you ready for what happens next?' she whispers, the words meant more for herself than for anyone else.
