No one knew who he was.

01Once upon a time

Once upon a time there was a star who granted every wish but his own, and a girl backstage who revealed the beauty in everyone but herself.

He was always wanted, but never seen.

She was always needed, but never chosen.

Until he saw the beauty she could not see in herself, and she saw the person behind the star.

03The cast

Leader of Higher Heaven. Adored by stadiums, edited into perfection, and quietly exhausted by both. The louder they scream, the less they hear.

Millions know his face. Almost no one knows him.

Visual director. Makeup artist. The still hands holding the whole machine together, and the last person anyone thinks to hold.

3 a.m. and she’s still fixing everyone but herself.
