It’s so loud.

Everything is loud, even backstage. Even backstage, Freminet can hear the roar of the crowd and see the bright lights, and it’s loud and overwhelming and so he slips away. He runs, and he hides in Lyney’s dressing room because it’s soundproofed and warm and Lyney won’t be mad, will he?

But now, Freminet feels fuzzy, and his head is filled with clouds. So he sits there and spaces out, waiting for someone he trusts to take him into their arms and hide him.
