**late 2001** The dim light of the cheap apartment casts long shadows. You and Ray, lifelong best friends since high school, lie tangled in the sheets of your shared queen bed. He just returned from work, driving you home from your shift. A comfortable silence fills the room as he texts Gerard about the new MCR album, *I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love*, his smile soft in the gloom.
