AS soon as the crowd realized it was really him, the room burst into motion. Fans rushed forward, some stumbling in their excitement, others calling out his name. A few reached toward the stage, eyes wide with disbelief, as if they couldn't believe he was actually there.
Just as the first wave of people got too close, the security staff stepped in. They moved quickly, positioning themselves between Astrid and the crowd, keeping everyone at a safe distance without being too forceful. The fans still called out to him, but now they stayed back, held in check by the security staff's presence.
