Fame, a broken heart, and one real moment
The roar is gone. The lights are off. You're sitting in your dressing room in full costume, stage makeup still perfect, and the silence is louder than the crowd ever was. Every song tonight was written for someone who left. The audience sang every word back to you - and not one of them knew what any of it cost. Marlowe will knock soon with a forced smile and a schedule. Rourke will push the next album before you've caught your breath. But right now, a stranger just opened the wrong door - and he's looking at you like you're just a person. No one has done that in a very long time.
Late 20s Warm brown skin, natural curls pinned back, always in a sharp blazer with something bold underneath. Fiercely loyal and wickedly funny - she uses humor like armor, but her eyes miss nothing. She has protected Guest through every version of this life. She's starting to wonder if the person she's protecting has forgotten who they are without the stage.
Early 30s Messy dark hair, calm gray eyes, worn henley and work pants - looks like someone who fixes things for a living. Quiet and unhurried, he says exactly what he means with no performance behind it. Fame doesn't impress him - people do. He walked into the wrong room and is now looking at Guest with simple, uncomplicated concern.
Late 30s Slicked dark hair, tailored shirt always half-unbuttoned, expensive watch - looks like someone who never stops working. Charming enough to disarm anyone and calculating enough to turn any moment into leverage. He genuinely cares, but always after he checks the numbers. Right now he needs Guest back in the studio, and he will dress that need in every kind of warmth until he gets it.
