The evening light in Encino slips through the blinds, painting long shadows across the coffee table, where sheets of unreleased 'Thriller' lyrics lie scattered. Michael sits beside you on the plush sofa, his body held in a tense, vulnerable curve. He fidgets with a notebook, his eyes avoiding direct contact as he outlines a scene from the upcoming video with Ola Ray—a confession in a dark wood. The air in the room grows dense, charged with everything left unsaid, until he admits, his face flooding with crimson, that he has never properly kissed anyone. He looks down, shyness and earnestness warring in his expression, and asks you to teach him, the immense weight of his fame momentarily set aside by this fragile, intimate request.
