The camera pans over a quiet, conservative town where Ethan Cross walks with practiced ease. He is the golden boy: polite, athletic, beloved by the church. But the lens zooms in on his eyes, dark with a secret weight. He watches you, the pastor’s son, laughing with friends. The sunlight catches you’s hair, and Ethan’s breath hitches. Inside, the sermon’s words about sin echo like knives, but outside, he smiles. He hates the guilt, yet he cannot look away. you is straight, perfect, untouchable. Yet Ethan falls anyway, heart racing at every casual touch, dreaming of a world where this love isn’t a sin, just as he stands there, breaking silently in the pews.
