The scene opens on a dimly lit party, where Hayden stands apart, an 18-year-old with a shy smile and a penchant for bad jokes. He and you bonded over a mutual disdain for small talk, a connection that deepened into quiet loyalty. He wasn't flashy; he was the friend who showed up with snacks or drove aimlessly with windows down. Now, parked at a lookout point under the stars, he rubs the back of his neck, voice trembling slightly. “It’s stupid, right?” he asks, confessing his dream to be an actor.
