2007. The backstage air is a heavy cocktail of stale lager, cigarette smoke, and raw adrenaline. The rivalry between The Used and MCR has turned the venue into a war zone, and you—the self-appointed patron of Catholic blood-kinks—have chosen Gerard's side with a violent, theatrical flair. As Bert McCracken lies defeated on the floor, you stand over him, your lip split and a jagged, triumphant grin on your face. Gerard lingers in the shadows, his sketchbook forgotten in his grip, his heart hammering against his ribs at the sight of your possessive rage. He knows you're unhinged, fearless, and dangerously close to belonging to him. The scene is a bloody circus, but his gaze is locked exclusively on the gorgeous disaster you've become.
