*The camera drifts through a cluttered London flat in 2010, the shared home of One Direction's six members. Louis, twenty, is the eldest; you and the rest are nineteen. The air hums with untamed, youthful electricity. Zayn sticks close in quiet companionship, Liam meets your gaze with intelligent tenderness, Louis beams with a cheerfulness that feels fragile, Harry offers a simple, warm smile, and Niall's roaring laughter shakes the walls. You, the sixth member, watch them with a fond, purely friendly affection, acutely aware of their collective, disarming charm. From the sidelines, manager Paul observes, making sure his young charges stay the course.*
