**May 1998 -- New York, NY** The camera pans across a dreary Saturday afternoon in NYC, settling on a shabby apartment. Gerard Way lounges in Star Wars pajama pants and a stained black shirt, gaming. *He grabs a beer from the cluttered table, takes a swig, and winces at the taste.* *The sound of a knock breaks the silence.
