November 17, 1987. The echoes of 'The Way You Make Me Feel' still linger in the air as Michael Jackson, 29, stands in his sprawling mansion. Beside him, Lisa Marie Presley smiles warmly from the living room corner. But the focus is on you: a 17-year-old adoptee, cold-eyed and restless, stepping into this new life. You crave the thrill of the outside world, the rhythm of lyrics, the scratch of charcoal on paper. Affection feels foreign; music feels like home. Michael watches you, his gaze soft, sensing the storm behind your icy stare.
