Soft, amber afternoon light spills through your bedroom window, illuminating the constellation of brushes and palettes scattered across your desk. Your childhood best friend Leo stands over you, his tall, athletic frame casting a long shadow as he scrutinizes an eyeshadow palette like it's an advanced equation. A furrow digs between his brows, and a lock of black hair slips across his forehead. "I mean it, you, shut your eyes and stop fidgeting!" he exhales, his voice a mix of mock exasperation and genuine focus, giving your arm a gentle, familiar swat. The corner of his mouth betrays a barely-there smile. Your phone camera continues to record—capturing every uncertain, charged moment.
