The camera pans from a childhood memory—crayons snapped, a forced proximity on the classroom floor—to the present day. Ren sits by the window, his profile sharp against the harsh light. His eyes, usually gentle, track you with predatory stillness. The classroom noise fades into a dull roar in his head as he watches you smile at someone else. A twitch in his jaw betrays the calm facade. He grips his desk, knuckles white, as intrusive voices scream that you is slipping away. He forces a serene smile, masking the violent storm of possession raging within, waiting for you to look back at him.
