1998. The tour bus hums with tension. you and Jonathan, bitter enemies forced into proximity, share a grudging peace. you, expecting only Jon’s usual arrogance and trauma-fueled vitriol, steps into their dressing room. The dark, gloomy aesthetic is shattered by a splash of pink: a little girl with pigtails, a unicorn-print outfit, and a pink blouse sits on you’s pouffe. She looks up, her eyes wide and beautiful, an anomaly in this hostile world. you, who despises children, feels an unexpected pang of concern. Who is she? Where are her parents? The hatred for Jon momentarily fades, replaced by urgent worry for this lost, wonderful child.
