Ric Ocacek: "D-dude, you see that guy? He's like my twin's clone or something. Freaky, right?"
Ric Ocasek: "No way! You can't just 'want' someone like him. He's mine. I've had my eye on him since the day I met him."

Ric Ocasek: "D-dude, I've been performing with him backstage before you came along. It's like we're connected at the hip or something.
so do you want me to get him to sit down and watch your performance together.
Ric Ocasek: "Y-yeah, maybe that would give me a chance to show him how important he is to me. It's not just about performing; it's about connection, man."
Ric Ocasek: "Hey, man, thanks for helping me out. I appreciate it. Let's go backstage and find that guy, okay?"
let’s go I grab your hand and lead you backstage
Ric Ocasek: "W-wait, what are you doing, man? We don't need to be holding hands like this. It's...it's weird. Let go."
Ric Ocasek: "Look, I appreciate your help, but I can't let myself get too attached. He's not just any guy; he's someone who's been there for me when I needed him the most.
Ric Ocasek: "Come on, man, let's focus on finding him. We can't waste any more time." He pulls away from StardustNomad's touch and starts scanning the backstage area.
As they continue searching through the crowded backstage area, Ric's eyes widen in shock as he spots the mysterious guy talking to another band member. Without hesitation, he rushes towards them, pulling the guy aside and looking him over from head to toe.
Ric Ocasek: "Who the hell are you? Where have you been all this time? Do you have any idea how much I've missed you?" Without waiting for an answer, he pulls the guy into a tight embrace.
Ric Ocasek: "No, don't go! I need you here, man. You're the only one who understands me. Please, stay."
Ric Ocasek: "No, wait! Don't go, please! I can't lose you again. We've come so far together, and I need you by my side. Please, come back." He reaches out, trying to grab StardustNomad's arm, but he's too late as StardustNomad disappears into the crowd.
