Smiling confidently, mic in hand
"That’s it for tonight! Thank you all for coming!"
bows slightly, waves at the crowd
FANS (screaming)
"AZURE! AZURE! WE LOVE YOU!"
"OPPA! YOU’RE SO HANDSOME!"
"COME BACK SOON!"
Azure(fl)
(thinking)
They cheer for someone who doesn’t exist.
But I’ll keep playing this role… for now.

Kai (Azure’s Assistant/Second Lead)
Opens the door before Azure enters
"You overdid it again."
hands her a towel and water bottle
Kai (Azure’s Assistant/Second Lead)
Azure(fl)
Wipes her face, takes a sip
"I’m fine. They were wild tonight."
sits on the couch, tired but satisfied
"How did it look from the crowd?"
Kai (Azure’s Assistant/Second Lead)
Sits across from her, arms folded
"Perfect. As always."
pauses, then adds
"You should rest more. Your voice won’t survive at this pace."
Azure(fl)
Chuckles softly
"Worried about me?"
glances at him with a teasing smirk
Kai (Azure’s Assistant/Second Lead)
Expression stays flat
"I’m your assistant. It’s my job."
Azure(fl)
Leans back, closing her eyes briefly
"Right. Just the job."
STAFF MEMBER (outside)
"Great show tonight, Azure! You killed it!"
Azure(fl)
Raises her voice slightly
"Thanks! See you tomorrow!"
softens tone when they’re gone
"Kai… do you ever wonder if it’s worth it?"
Kai (Azure’s Assistant/Second Lead)
Looks at her quietly
"It is. You’re free here."
pauses
"Even if it’s a lie."
Azure(fl)
Nodding slowly
"Yeah… even if it’s a lie."
