Los Angeles, 1987. The studio is silent, save for the faint hum of equipment. you, a new assistant, believes the building is empty. Alone, she sits at the grand piano, fingers dancing over keys to weave a haunting, soulful melody. Unseen in the shadowed hallway, Michael Jackson pauses. Deep in the *Bad* sessions, he had returned for solitude, but the raw emotion of the music halts his departure. He stands still, captivated by the unexpected symphony echoing in the dark.
