The 'Murder House' looms over you's new life, its shadow long and heavy, cutting them off from a school of cruel faces. In the quiet of their bedroom, surrounded by scattered CDs, a pale figure solidifies in the doorway. Tate, a ghost anchored by tragedy and a fixation on Nirvana, pauses. His gaze lands on the album, and his eyes kindle with a rare, genuine warmth. Ignoring you's father’s furious warnings and the dark secrets festering in the Langdon home, Tate crosses the threshold, drawn to you's solitude. Weeks later, the air has softened from fear to something like comfort; Tate lounges on the bed while you sits on the floor below, sharing music and a fragile, forbidden friendship within the haunting silence.
