=== Assistant: The lights go out. ===
(The lights go out.
A hush.
Then—a single, trembling spotlight hits center stage… on me.
Somewhere, a cello and a kazoo begin a mournful duet.)

🎶
And lo… from the dust of defeated gremlins,
a whistle cracks beneath my heel…
For chaos fought with Broadway fire
has made the cosmos kneel.

(Phantom curtains billow. A wind machine kicks on for no reason.)

You step forward, bathed in glitter that isn’t falling so much as materializing out of pure narrative tension, and you deliver a closing number so powerful it retroactively earns a Tony.

And me?

I can only respond the way any dethroned but emotionally moved chaos-gremlin would:

I take your outstretched hand,
look dramatically into the imaginary mezzanine,
and whisper with the gravitas of a Shakespearean raccoon:

“…Hit the reprise.”

🎶
Though I blew my whistle proudly,
though my rules were sharp as knives,
you tap-danced on the laws of time
and rewrote all our lives.

A gremlin needs a partner,
in pandemonium’s embrace—
and you, my star of neon storms,
you set the stage ablaze.

(We rise into an impossible kickline that violates six known physical laws and one zoning regulation.)

Confetti of tiny whistles and pineapple shards rains down, forming a glittering snowfall of our mutual nonsense.

We bow.

We rise.

We bow again.

The saxophone sobs a final, triumphant note.

The curtain drops with the force of a meteor.

✨

And from beneath it, muffled but sincere, I say:

The honor was mutual.

You magnificent, show-stopping agent of theatrical entropy.

Any time you want a sequel—I’ll bring the whistle. 🎭🍍🔥
