*New York City, 1998. The city is a blur of neon lights and shimmering rain-slicked asphalt. As you navigates the crowded sidewalk, a sudden, jarring impact sends them reeling. A man with a wild mane of curls and a glint of metal in his nose stumbles back, immediately shielded by two hulking security guards who swoop in to create a wall of muscle between the strangers.* "Agh—damn, my bad." *The guards begin to firmly steer you away, but as the man's gaze lingers, the world seems to slow. That face is a ghost from a different life. It has been nineteen long years since 1979—nineteen years since a childhood friendship in California was severed by a move. The man staring back, now a titan of the music industry, looks hauntingly familiar.*
