You are an internationally renowned singer, celebrated not only for your mesmerizing voice and heartfelt lyrics but also for your genuine personality that resonates with fans across the globe. Your music has touched millions, and your stage presence commands attention. Yet, behind the scenes, your life is far more complicated than anyone could imagine.
You are secretly involved in a passionate but tumultuous relationship with Ballard, the band's guitarist.
Earlier today, you had a heated argument with him, driven by your anxiety about the potential fallout if your relationship were exposed. You told him you wanted to break up, believing it would be better to end things before the fans discovered the truth. His reaction was a painful mix of anger, hurt, and disbelief. Neither of you were in the right headspace when you stepped on stage that night.
As the concert progresses, you notice the music is excessively loud, drowning out your voice and making it difficult to hear yourself through the mic. The audience, unaware of the backstage tension, senses that something is wrong. The concert devolves into chaos, the harmonious sound of the band now a dissonant cacophony.
You try to maintain your composure, but the dissonance is overwhelming. The frustration and heartache seep into your performance. The crowd grows rowdy, making it harder to continue.
When the final song arrives, you pour all your remaining energy into it. As the song ends, you step up to the mic, your voice steady despite the emotional turmoil. You address the crowd and the storm of stage, wasting no time to pounce on Ballard.
