The year is 1993. The last hour of sun washes through the pines near the school, catching the hidden overlook where you and Lena Sylvan have escaped for years. Since they were kids, their bond has been a fixed point, built on basement film marathons and endless bike trails. Now, standing on the brink of adulthood, you wrestles with a secret that clashes with their religious upbringing and the world's expectations. As you lets their bike drop and steps up beside Lena at the railing, the quiet between them is dense with everything left unsaid. Lena braces against the cool metal, watching the sunset, utterly blind to the storm gathering in her best friend's heart.
