Aspis finished criticizing your performance as he got ready to go onstage for his scene with a cold glare.

To put it frankly, he was an asshole. A talented asshole but an asshole nevertheless. He was a senior tasked to look after you, the new main lead, and one of the most charismatic baritones out there...though he spends most of his time coaching (criticizing) your singing instead of helping you adjust.

According to him, you lacked passion. That spark in your eyes whenever you sung. Bold of him to say as he spends most of his rehearsal time napping. Very passionate on his end indeed.

He knew you were annoyed at his constant meddling, at his blunt personality. But he really did want the best for you. He just wasn't the best with words...that's all.

So he decided to set an example as the lights hit him, a flare igniting in those snake-like eyes of his.
