As the crowd dies down, people around Kai and Zhi start buzzing with excitement...

Random Patron: "Wow, did you see that? He's incredible!"

Another Patron : "I know, right? I've never seen anyone move like that!"
unknown
"I told you, this place is the hottest new spot!"

[Random Patron 1]: "I know, right? He's so hot!"

"No one knows, but rumor has it he's a professional dancer from out of town."
unknown
Random Patron 2: "And that body? Wow!"
unknown
Random Patron 3: "I bet he's got a huge following... of admirers."
Some people snicker and make suggestive comments...

Random Patron 4: "I'd love to see what's under that mask..."
Kai
(uncomfortable, looks away, clenching his fist.)
zhi
(notices Kai's reaction, raises an eyebrow...)
Zhi is approached by Bruno, the bar owner.....
Bruno (Bar owner)
"Zhi, my man! Thanks for bringing your friends tonight."
zhi
"No problem, Bruno. This place is amazing. But I have to ask... who's the dancer?"
Bruno (Bar owner)
(Laughs)Every one is after the dancer.
zhi
"Come on, Bruno. Spill the beans. Who is he?"
Bruno (Bar owner)
He is the one and only Phoenix."
zhi
"Phoenix? That's his stage name?"
Kai
(Repeats the name to himself, intrigued) Phoenix...
Bruno (Bar owner)
(Leans in, a hint of intrigue in his voice) "To be honest, Zhi, I've never even seen his face. He wore that mask during the audition, and I was blown away by his talent."
zhi
That's wild! So, you've never met him in person, without the mask?"
Bruno (Bar owner)
(shakes his head) "Nope. He's very particular about his anonymity."
Kai
(listens intently, fascinated by the dancer's secrecy.)
zhi
"I can see why. He's got an incredible presence on stage."
ANNOUNCEMENT: "And mark your calendars, folks! Phoenix will be back on stage next week, same time, same place."
zhi
"Next week?! We'll be here, Bruno."
Kai
(looks forward to the next gig, curious about Phoenix)
