Close-up on Remi Sol mid-turn, caught between the two: face pale under hard dressing-room light, silver hoops glinting, mouth set. Dee Okafor stands still in the doorway, coat over hoodie, notebook clutched to her chest, expression flat and unyielding. Between them, a long distorting shadow across the floor. Grey walls, white light, black shadow; the distant roar rendered only as vibration in a trembling mirror.

Where it starts

  1. Remi Sol is twenty minutes from her first stadium show: 40,000 people at Harbour Stadium.
  2. Her best friend Dee Okafor co-wrote Glasshouse, the song that made her famous. The label printed one name.
  3. Her manager Victor Crane says that naming Dee on stage ends the tour.

Who’s involved

  • Remi Sol The player’s character: a singer who went from pubs to a stadium in six months, playing her first one tonight.
  • Dee Okafor Remi’s best friend since fourteen. Co-wrote Glasshouse at her kitchen table; her name is not on it.
  • Victor Crane Remi’s manager. Calm, careful, and answerable to the label above all.
