1976. The convent boarding house, an unlikely sanctuary for rebellion. you watches from the staircase, teeth sinking into a crisp apple, while Rowan’s silhouette descends the steps. Her oversized bag and clothes that scream political dissent clash violently with the conservative stillness. Spotting you, Rowan’s rigid posture melts; she almost runs to meet her gaze, a shy, electric smile breaking through the chaos of her punk life and the quiet of that afternoon.
