Epilogue

But again, it was never enough for Michael Blurb. The applause, the love, even the warmth of Leila's smile, it filled him for a moment, then slipped through his fingers like rain. He wanted more. Always more. And Alfred Seal, he took more. More silence, more pain, more of what Michael thought was his. Alfred walked into every room with that unshakable presence, and Michael burned at the edges, knowing he could never match him. For Leila Seams, it should have been enough. Her music, her love, her loyalty. She gave without hesitation, without measure. Yet caught between men who could not be satisfied, she was stretched thin, enough for herself, never enough for them. And Synvie Taylor, she was different. Like a diamond polished every day, she shone brighter with every crack and heartbreak, every lyric carved out of pain. Her voice became an anthem of wounds left open, her albums bleeding with what Alfred never said, what Michael could never hear, what Leila could never fix. She was chased, consumed, demanded by millions, yet always asked to sparkle harder. The stage lights dimmed, the curtain fell. Their lives scattered in different directions, but the refrain remained, echoing like an unfinished song: It was never enough. Not for Michael. Not for Alfred. Not for Leila. And for Synvie? Her whisper lingered like smoke: "I sang the songs, but I burned the stage... and Michael, the ashes are yours to carry." The curtain fell, the lights dimmed, and the stage emptied. But in the shadows, the truth remained: no heart, no song, not even love is enough, not for them.
