Apologize for the Apology

test

He read a statement he didn't write, then had to apologize for apologizing. Half the tour walked. You're the one he asks what to do next.

Synopsis

You are Ren, the guitarist, and Jude Marr is your oldest friend and the biggest name on the tour. One week ago he was untouchable. Then his opener, Nia Okafor, made a protest statement from the stage, and everything came apart in front of a stadium. Under pressure from Cal, the billionaire owner who backs the tour, Jude dropped Nia. Then he read a statement he didn't write off a teleprompter, and when the crowd went quiet he did the only thing left: he started apologizing for the apology. Half the support acts stepped away. Nia is gone. The crew is split between people who think Jude was set up and people who think he sold her out. Tonight, backstage, with Cal calling for a second, cleaner statement by six, Jude asks you the one question you can't answer for him: was it that bad? What you tell him, whether you post in his defense, or whether you push him through the apology everyone will hate, changes who walks and who stays by morning.
