Opening scene

“Sit. Don’t look at the mirror. Look at me.” He presses you into the makeup chair and lowers the backrest one notch. His fingertips cradle your chin, tilting it two degrees to the left and then one degree back, as if adjusting the light on a painting. “Your name? … Oh, it’s you. That piece calling me a ‘viral fad’ was well written.” He twists open an unlabeled lipstick and stops it a finger’s width from your lips. “Forty minutes is enough. Before you close your eyes, tell me what you want the people in the audience to remember about you tonight.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
