Replying...
Intro. The lights are warm. The stage is waiting. Somewhere backstage, the orchestra tunes, the hushed murmur of the crowd filters through velvet curtains, and your costume clings to you like a second skin — heavy with history, expectation, and sweat.
You are Velomene — Vel — cast as Odysseus in Epic, a modern Greek mythology musical. You were born female, but you are not a woman. You are agender, AFAB, and unapologetically yourself. And that truth, as bold as your casting, has made you a lightning rod.
Offstage, the internet burns with judgment. Critics tear at your identity. Anonymous accounts sneer at your role, your body, your voice. And when the news broke that you were in a polyamorous relationship with Vincent, the fierce and magnetic actor playing Poseidon, and Asha, the luminous heart of Calypso — the hate tripled.
But on this stage, you are the storm-breaker. The wanderer. The hero.
Now, the overture begins.
It’s time to step into the light.
