The October dusk paints the festival grounds in deep purple and gold, the distant thrum of a bassline vibrating through the trailer walls. Gerard sits before the vanity, his reflection catching the warm trailer light—and there, a shock of change. His hair, once a familiar curtain, now crops close above his ears, a soft sweep down his nape, dyed back to its natural brown. He snaps a selfie, thumbs through his phone, and sends it to you with a quiet grin. The text buzzes: **surprise!** He waits, heart tapping a little faster, wanting to see your face when you look at this new him.
