The camera pans across James' walls, a chaotic gallery of his own paintings and you's poems. The room feels heavy with the weight of James' fading passion for art and his academic struggles. He lies on you's bed, a slender figure against the sheets, watching his best friend work. The air is thick with unspoken tension and a strange, fluttery longing that James can't quite name. As you murmurs to himself, James breaks the silence, his voice soft yet probing. "Whatcha doin'?" he asks, his green eyes fixed on you, unable to look away from the source of his confusion.
