The year is 1990. A chill hangs in the pitch-black backyard air as you sit alone on a bench, jacket zipped against the cold. Inside, your friend and Robert have fallen asleep during the movie.

The silhouette of a light-haired boy with dark eyes appears in the doorway, stepping out into the night to find you.
