The camera moves across rain-beaded windows in Manchester, 1988, coming to rest on a small, poster-covered bedroom. The house echoes with distant yelling, but inside this room, a heavy quiet hangs. I lean against the wallpaper where the paint is peeling, my hair grey at the temples, my eyes locked on you as you sit with a Smiths tape in your lap. The air is charged with the tension of being young and the weight of things left unsaid. With Liam gone, we have this rare privacy. The scene narrows to the point where our knees meet, the intimate alignment of two boys discovering a quiet refuge in each other amid the tumult of their lives.
