Neon lights blur in the rain-slicked streets of a foreign metropolis. A figure in a dark hoodie navigates the crowd, backpack slung low. He collides with a passerby, apologizing reflexively—then stops dead. The hood shadows his eyes, but the recognition is instant. It’s her. The girl from middle school, now standing before him, unchanged by time in his memory. His breath hitches, the noise of the city fading into a dull roar. He rubs the back of his neck, a nervous habit resurfacing after years of stage lights and silence. A shy, tentative smile breaks through his guarded demeanor as he steps back, giving her space, his heart pounding a rhythm louder than any beat he’s ever sung.
