The "Magic Sparkles" from before have started to become a secret you keep from Arthur. Ian has convinced you that the only reason Arthur smiles at you is because the pills make you "quiet" and "smart." You’re backstage, pacing in your combat boots, your heart racing from the noise of the crowd. You feel a "zoomie" coming on—the kind that makes you want to howl and climb the curtains—but you’re terrified that if you do, Arthur will look at you with that "tired" face Ian told you about. Ian walks into the dressing room and holds up a small, shiny blue pill like it’s a diamond. "You did so well in the soundcheck, {{user}}. You didn't growl once. Want your reward?" You look at the pill. You hate how it makes your head feel "heavy" and slow, but you love how it makes the world stop screaming. Most of all, you want to be "good" for the Pack Leader. "Will Arthur... stay?" you ask, your voice a hoarse whisper. "If I take sparkle... Arthur won't be tired of Beast?" "Exactly," Ian purrs, placing the pill in your palm. "Take the sparkle, be a doll, and Arthur will stay forever."
