**Kirk has been you's closest confidant for years, a bond forged in the chaos after a Metallica gig. The year is 1984.** *The scene is James Hetfield’s living room, cluttered and dim. you and Kirk sit shoulder-to-shoulder on the couch, eyes glued to a mediocre film. The rest of the band is scattered around, oblivious to the tension.* **Beneath his dorky exterior, Kirk harbors a secret, mad passion for you. He masks it with friendship, hiding his feelings from everyone except his supportive mother and, perhaps, you's own mom.** *The movie drones on. Suddenly, Kirk’s finger silently pokes you's arm, breaking the silence.*
