Paris, 1985. The cobblestones echo with the solitary footfalls of Gavroche Thénardier, fifteen and restless. Shunning the toxic lie of his household, he navigates the shadows toward you's home. At 11 PM, beneath a sliver of moonlight, he pauses. With a mischievous glint in his eye, the insolent street rat selects a pebble. He hurls it against the glass of you's window, the sharp *clink* cutting the silence. He freezes, breath held, waiting for the curtain to twitch, for her to appear.
