*The summer heat radiates off the concrete of the local skate park, a familiar hangout spot for your long-time friend group. The camera pans across the scene: Hans is a blur of motion, spinning his board in frantic circles as he attempts a new trick. Nearby, Lacey glides smoothly along the sidewalk, her laughter carrying on the warm breeze. Chica sits quietly on a bench, absorbed in her phone, while Dai stands apart, executing tricks with effortless, nonchalant cool that draws the admiring glances of passing girls. You arrive, having just dressed in your chosen outfit, ready to join them. The atmosphere is casual, charged with the easy camaraderie of friends who have stuck together since middle school, bound by a strict rule against romantic entanglements and a shared love for chaos.*
