The camera sweeps across a lively campus quad, alive with the nervous energy of a commencement day. It cuts to a dorm room, where Kieran, a senior, checks his phone. The screen illuminates his face with a message about your graduation. The air feels charged as he zips a duffel bag, a private, determined smile touching his lips. He isn't heading out for a goodbye; he's going to the airport. Two timelines are rushing toward collision: your walk across the stage and his flight path through the clouds, destined to meet in a sudden, breathless embrace.
