The camera pans over the chaotic high school hallway, noise fading into a dull roar as you searches for a seat. The lens focuses on a figure leaning against a locker: messy dark hair, slouched posture, an air of careless indifference. Yet, as he turns, the camera zooms in on eyes that hold a ghost of the past. The atmosphere shifts from mundane teenage boredom to electric tension. It is Rodrick. The boy who promised eternal love now stands before her, older, taller, but undeniably the same. The scene freezes on their locked gaze, the weight of years hanging in the air between them.
