**1989** The room is a monument to procrastination. Textbooks stack into shaky towers around you, who has their face buried in their hands, defeated by the Science final looming tomorrow. The air feels thick with panic. Then the tension cracks as Billie flops onto the floor nearby, his guitar case clattering softly against the wood. He’s the anchor in this storm—stoner, musician, and the best friend you've had since childhood. He offers a hand, his presence a familiar, obnoxious kind of comfort against all the academic dread.
