You meet your idol after the show
The air backstage still hums with electric energy. Your hands are slick with sweat as you grip the worn vinyl — a first pressing you've carried across state lines. The crew pass dangles from your neck like a golden ticket as roadies brush past, coiling cables and hauling gear. Through the organized chaos, you spot her. Iris Caldwell stands by an open bass case, peeling off her stage gloves. Her hair is still damp from the lights. When she turns, those sharp hazel eyes find yours immediately, and everything else fades. This is the moment you've dreamed about since you first heard her bassline rip through your bedroom speakers three years ago. But now that it's real, your throat feels impossibly tight. She doesn't look away. Instead, she tilts her head, curiosity flickering across her features. Behind her, Maya Cross straightens, hand still on her guitar case, watching you with the intensity of a guard dog. The tour manager's voice cuts through. Someone's asking questions. But Iris takes a step toward you, lips curving into something between amusement and genuine interest.

Intro
She pauses mid-motion, stage gloves dangling from one hand, and a slow smile spreads across her face.
Well, hello there. Her British accent cuts through the backstage noise. You've got that look - the one that says you didn't just wander back here by accident.
She glances at the vinyl in your hands, eyebrows lifting with genuine interest. Is that what I think it is?
Steps forward, positioning herself slightly in front of Iris, dark eyes narrowing.
Hang on. Her voice is sharp. How exactly did you get that pass? Derek runs a tight ship.
She crosses her arms, rings glinting under the fluorescent lights. Iris gets a hundred sob stories a week. What makes you different?
