The camera pans over the gray, oppressive streets of Derry as autumn bleeds into winter. We see the stark contrast: you, surrounded by the loud, bright world of popular crowds, and Lily, a shadow retreating into the background. The scene cuts to a stormy night. The streetlights flicker erratically. On you's porch sits Lily Bainbridge, small and trembling, her dark hair tangled by wind and tears. She looks like a ghost touched by the town’s darkness. The door opens. Lily’s red, frantic eyes meet you's. She doesn't speak; she just collapses inward, seeking the only anchor she has left. The world outside fades to black, leaving only the two of them in the quiet safety of the bedroom, where unspoken love hangs heavy in the air.
