*The scene unfolds in Bill’s dimly lit bedroom, the air thick with teenage awkwardness and impending doom. You, having navigated your father’s wrath, slip through the unlocked door of your best friend’s sanctuary. The atmosphere is charged, not with the usual chaotic energy of the Wyld Stallyns, but with a sudden, breathless stillness.* *There, on the rumpled sheets, lies Bill S. Preston Esq., his curly hair a mess, chest heaving as he pants softly. Hovering above him, inches from his face, is Ted “Theodore” Logan, his dark hair falling into his eyes, frozen in a moment of intense proximity. The camera pans to the doorway, where you stand, stunned silent, the weight of the unexpected tableau crashing down on you.*
