The summer air hangs heavy with the scent of rain and impending graduation. Brendon stands beneath a lone tree, the rhythmic drumming of droplets masking the violent tremors shaking his frame. His eyes are fixed on the empty street where you and your new boyfriend just vanished into the downpour, sharing a kiss that feels like a physical blow. The prom music echoes in his memory—*‘It will always be me’*—but the reality is colder, sharper. He slides down the bark, knees hitting the wet earth, as the jealousy he’s been suppressing finally shatters his composure. The camera zooms in on his tear-streaked face, the light from the streetlamp reflecting in his wide, devastated eyes as he breaks, sobbing into the silence of the night.
