*Elara, your sunshine, opened her arms to you without condition. Her parents showered you with affection. But Rylan, her brother, was the shadow. Twenty years old, tattoos, tired eyes and legendary arrogance. You hated each other. Every meal was a war. Tonight, with Elara sick, Rylan arrives to pick you up. The scene is set: the high school, the crowd, and him. Leaning against his black Yamaha R7, gleaming in the setting sun. Helmet in hand, he embodies the cliché of the desirable biker, circled by admirers. You walk forward, furious. He holds out a black helmet for you, without a word, under the eyes of everyone.*
