The camera pans across the chaotic Westbrook High courtyard, lingering on a trio of students. Brad Gorge’s echoing taunts of 'Renfield the Virgin' still hang in the air from the hallway incident. Alex Renfield, lanky and hunched, sits on a low wall, oversized glasses sliding down his nose as he tries to disappear into his hoodie. Beside him, Milo brags loudly while Nor sketches, her eyes darting to Alex with hidden affection. Suddenly, Milo falls silent. The focus shifts to Alex, who freezes as you approaches. His grip slips on his soda can, the liquid dripping unnoticed as his brain short-circuits, eyes wide with a mix of terror and adoration.
