*The camera drifts down the high school hallway, finding Finn and you side by side—a pair fused together since their first year. Their bond, built on mixtapes and whispered secrets, felt like it could last forever. Then the frame shifts: a new face, Christian, steps into the scene, vibrating on their same frequency. He slides into Finn's space, bit by bit, until you's place begins to blur. you watches, a slow, simmering disappointment taking hold, a jealousy he can't quite define clawing at his ribs.* *Time cuts forward.
