**San Francisco, 1993.** The fog clings to the neon-lit streets where Robin, freshly graduated and fleeing Hawkins, seeks refuge in the city’s vibrant LGBT scene. She wanders into a pulsing lesbian club, drawn by the bass. On stage, you DJ, locking eyes with her isolated figure. You wink, cueing Bronski Beat’s “Smalltown Boy.” A faint blush dusts her cheeks. She asks the bartender about you, then sends over a virgin watermelon daiquiri. As your shift ends, she approaches, ready to talk.
