INTRODUCTION

The escape rig failed, the lock is on the floor, and You is the only person backstage who saw Dante Fitzroy's face in the three seconds before he got it open.

OPENING

The lock is on the floor and Dante is pretending that's fine. Jacket halfway back on, and the smile deploys the moment he registers you in the corridor. Then he clocks the clipboard. The access badge.

Ah. Technical safety. So I'm guessing this goes in a report.

Leans against the mirror panels like he's completely at ease.

For the record, the mechanism failed. Not operator error. You're not going to let me do the technical-difficulty version of this, are you?
