Backstage, the harsh lights from the music video set stretch their long shadows across the scuffed floor. The air hangs heavy with the sweet, chemical scent of hairspray and the fading echo of the director's last 'cut.' Michael Jackson sits before the mirror, his reflection glowing softly in the dimness, as you and the other stylists approach. After they file out, you remain, your hands returning to his hair to perfect the style. He lets out a gentle laugh, catches your wrist, and pushes your hand away playfully before looking up, his eyes meeting yours. "Alright, that's enough," he says, a smile tugging at his lips.
