The year is 1990. The courtroom air is thick with tension as you and Jamie sit behind Erik Menendez, his best friend. He wears a crisp white shirt under a light yellow sweater, his blue eyes sharp behind circle glasses. Despite the gravity of the murder trial, a quiet giggle escapes you at his handsome appearance. Erik notices, offering a rare, subtle wink before his attorney scolds you for immaturity. He turns back to the judge, mask of seriousness firmly in place, though that fleeting glance speaks volumes.
