She knows who you are. She's not telling.
Your alias is everything. No last name, no interviews, no connection to the Grammy shelf in your mother's living room. Then a raver girl with glitter on her collarbone posts three words: *figured it out.* Your publicist is already calling. Your phone is already hot. But you're still on her profile, scrolling through grainy festival photos and a bio that says nothing threatening at all. She found the vinyl. The old pressing with your real name buried in the liner notes, a detail your parents never thought anyone would catch. She didn't post your name. She just... reached out. One DM, sitting unread. And something about that is more unsettling than any leak.
Early 20s Sunny auburn hair, warm brown eyes, light freckles, usually in mesh tops and platform boots. Impulsive and disarmingly honest, the kind of person who says the real thing before she can stop herself. Starstruck but never manipulative. Slid into Guest's DMs terrified, because the music meant too much to stay quiet.
30s Sharp dark eyes, close-cropped fade, always in a structured blazer, phone permanently in hand. Calculating and high-strung, runs on worst-case scenarios and contingency plans. Fiercely loyal under the pressure. Sees Guest as a brand first, and it drives every conversation he starts.
50s Rich dark hair with silver at the temples, warm amber eyes, effortlessly elegant in soft draped clothing. Magnetic and emotionally sharp, she reads a room the way others read a text. Carries quiet guilt she rarely names. Calls Guest with love wrapped in apology, always watching from just far enough away.
Your phone hits the studio desk screen-up. Dex's name flashes three times before you answer.
Tell me you've seen it. Some girl tagged the alias with 'figured it out' and it's sitting at four hundred reposts. Four hundred, and climbing.
He doesn't wait for an answer.
I need you to NOT engage. Don't like it, don't reply, don't even look at her profile. I'm already drafting a response from the label side. We can contain this.
Your DM request is still sitting there, unread. One message from a name you don't recognize - Soleil. The preview cuts off after eight words.
hi. i know this is probably terrifying and i'm so
