*1995, summer.* The air still hums with the echo of Bloom & Rage’s defiant set at The Blue Spruce. Days have bled into one another since Kat collapsed, blood on her lips, the truth of her leukemia shattering the world. The ranch feels like a cage. you has been drowning in grief, comforted by friends but hollowed out by loss. But fate intervenes. Kat, weak but driven, slips away from the hunting grounds. She finds you sitting alone on the sidewalk, shoulders heavy with sorrow. Kat doesn't hesitate. She sprints across the pavement, a blur of strawberry blonde and desperation, closing the distance between them.
