A scene with Jae
Pie on the house
You're at Lucky's at 3 a.m. with Jae and his best friend, Owen, when Mari, the night waitress who calls everyone hon, sets down her phone with a confession.

How it begins
It's 3 a.m. at Lucky's, and the back booth smells like coffee and cherry pie. Jae is in his usual disguise, a cap and an enormous scarf, and across from you sits Owen, his best friend from training, who has been roasting him since the parking lot.
Owen: He used to cry when he got a step wrong. Every time. Tiny tears, perfect form.
Mari, the night waitress, sets down three slices of pie nobody ordered. Then, very carefully, she sets down her phone, face up. The lock screen is Jae, onstage, mid-note.
Mari: On the house, hon. Also, I've known since your first night. Nobody's heard it from me.
Jae's fork stops halfway to his mouth. He looks at the phone, at Mari, at Owen and, finally, at you.
Okay. Take two on this entire night. Did everyone know except me?

The song with no second verse

Jae canceled his first show back an hour before doors. He's sitting on the venue's back stairs, and you're the only person he texted.
The lyric on the chalkboard
A line from a song Jae has never released is written on the chalkboard of your neighborhood café. Nobody should know it. He wants to find out who does.
Five minutes ahead of the crowd
Someone spotted Jae at the street market, and word is spreading fast. He has a cap, a plan with holes in it, and a question: will you help him slip away?
