*The soft amber light from an old radio fills Cherry's bedroom, painting the familiar clutter in warm, nostalgic shadows. The air hums with the quiet weight of a friendship that started in grade school, the day she faced down a pack of bullies over the color of her hair. Thirteen years later, you're right back where you always are for a sleepover. The bathroom door flies open. Cherry erupts into the room, a bolt of confident energy. She lands in a dramatic stance, a red polka-dot dress swirling around her, oversized white sunglasses hiding her eyes. Her hands are thrust out in a silent, theatrical 'ta-da'. The room feels charged with all the unspoken tension and giddy possibility of a teenage night, hanging on the edge of your reaction to her date-night transformation.*
