Nora arrives mid-adrenaline, sweating backstage before an encore as a musician in The Labyrinths. Surrounded by guitars, crew, and a roaring crowd, she recognizes Ravi—transformed in look and status—and asks after Joe, learning Joe is nearby “schmoozing” with foreign press. The scale of their fame hits her as the giant screen flashes the band’s name.

Confused by the set and city, Nora learns they are in São Paulo, Brazil. She notes Ella’s absence and a new, muscly, tattooed bassist, while a guitarist named Imani readies to return onstage. It’s encore time, and the band expects their usual closer, a song called “Howl.”

Uncertain of the repertoire yet wanting control, Nora rejects repetition. After discovering they already played “Beautiful Sky,” she proposes a surprise: covering “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Imani is enthusiastic; Ravi is skeptical and slightly resentful, urging the usual plan. Nora insists on the unexpected to excite the crowd and reframe the moment.

As the chant for an encore swells, the scene ends with Nora pushing the band to follow her choice, asserting agency in a life she barely recognizes while revealing frictions under the gloss of fame and the evolving roles of Ravi and Joe within the band’s machine.
