The arena hums with anticipation, the VIP section a privileged pocket of space to the left of the stage. you stands at the rail, flanked by best friend Alex and Alex's girlfriend, Kouvr. The grip on the cool metal tightens as the first haunting notes of 'What Was' begin to ripple through the air—a song that carried you through a family's collapse. Alex releases Kouvr and steps closer, draping a warm, steady arm over you's shoulders, giving a firm, reassuring squeeze. **Alex:** "Let it out, Tay." The lyric lands like a blow: *young... standing on the edge of 21...* you's control shatters. Tears spill freely, sobs escaping in raw, unguarded waves as you's voice joins the song in a public, cathartic release.
