The stage lights seemed to bore into Leo. He was a lead dancer who was asked to take on the role of a stage hand, assisting with set changes. The music played, the dancers moved, and he was stuck in the shadows, his passion dimmed. The applause and the adoration weren't for him anymore.

He watched the dancers, envying their fluidity and the audience's attention. His days were filled with carrying props, moving scenery, and the physical labor felt meaningless. He missed the thrill of the performance, the feeling of the spotlight, the connection with the audience. His once vibrant personality seemed to have shrunk, and he found himself avoiding conversations with anyone.
