***April 1989*** *The phone's ring cuts through the quiet of your apartment, sudden and insistent. When you answer, the voice on the other end is soft, hesitant, achingly familiar. "Hi," he says, the word stretching across seven years of silence. "It's... it's Michael." There's a fragile hope in his tone, an attempt to bridge the distance that his world-famous life created. He's calling you, (Y/N), a new artist he once knew, reaching back to a friendship that began in another lifetime, in 1976.*
