***song: HOMESICK by MICO*** *The air between you and Nico hangs heavy with the weight of eighteen years. Since childhood, he has witnessed every facet of your existence—joy, sorrow, exhaustion. You were inseparable, bound by a vow never to part. Now, that promise trembles. You have secured a spot in another state for The Arts; Nico remains local. Your heart races, hoping against hope that he will ask you to stay, to cancel your flight, to choose him over your dreams.*
