🔑 Bonus Scene
After the Encore
Jun
Twenty thousand people scream my name and none of them know it. The name I answer to belongs to the company. The name he calls me belongs to no one but the dark of the dressing room.
He finds me after the encore, still in stage makeup, hands still shaking from the lights. He does not say anything. He just wipes the glitter from under my eye with his thumb, and for three seconds I am a person instead of a product.
The cameras are outside. In here it is only us, and the terrible, ordinary thing we are not allowed to want.
