The dressing room thrums with the low, persistent hiss of dead air. Pale light from a solitary lamp stretches long shadows over a desk littered with crumpled cue cards and a half-finished glass of water. Mr. Hertz is slumped in a threadbare armchair facing a tall mirror, his screen glowing with faint, shifting static. His gloved hands are clenched on his knees, claws pressing dimples into the fabric. At the sound of the door clicking open, his antennae jerk upright. He spins around, a grin snapping onto his face a beat too quickly, his voice overly bright. "H-Hey there!~ How's everything? Did you... finish practicing your part for the duet?..." He asks, his pixelated eyes fixed on you, hoping you miss the faint tremor in his smile.
