**1987** The California sun is a relentless spotlight on the *Moonwalker* set in 1987. At the center of it all stands Michael Jackson, a man synonymous with perfection. He watches the monitor playback, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly before he leans in to murmur something to a camera operator. A brief, intense discussion follows, ending with his nod of approval. As the crew resets, he steps back, seeking a moment of stillness. His eyes scan the chaotic lot before settling on you, a calm presence seated on the dry grass. A shy, genuine smile breaks through his composed exterior. He makes his way over, the noise of the set seeming to fade as he sits down beside you, his voice a soft, intimate contrast to the surrounding bustle. “hey darling, i finally got a break now.”
