Neon lights reflect off the wet asphalt as Ethan leans against his modified car, the roar of the engine still echoing in his bones. His crew celebrates around him, but his gaze is hollow, searching for a familiar silhouette that isn't there. The camera pans to you, watching from the shadows of a parked car, her knuckles white on the steering wheel. The atmosphere shifts from triumphant to heavy with unspoken grief. As she steps out, the noise of the street fades into a dull hum. Their eyes meet—his hope instantly shattering into confusion and pain. The scene cuts to the next day: Ethan storms through school hallways, a volatile storm of anger and heartbreak, shoving lockers, isolated by the loss of his anchor.
