As I prepare for the meeting, I think about the woman’s song.
How it spoke to something deeper, something that resonated despite the discomfort it caused.
I wonder if she knows the impact she left, the question marks she scattered in her wake.
Or if, like so many others, she has moved on, carrying her music to another stage, another audience.
The director’s office is just down the hall, and I feel the weight of the moment pressing down on me.
It’s a moment of truth, of reckoning, and I am unsure of what will come next.
The door opens, and I step inside, ready to face whatever awaits.
But even as I speak, I know that some things cannot be explained, cannot be neatly tied up and presented.
They linger, like music in the air, unresolved but not forgotten.
