The scene opens on a Yale campus, where you stands as a figure of cold, manipulative beauty, feared and admired in equal measure. Across the hall, Simon Riley, a narcissistic storm with a British accent and an irritatingly handsome smirk, blasts Britney Spears at full volume. The air crackles with their mutual disdain; you leaves aggressive notes, Simon ignores them. It is a war of attrition. But when chaos ensues, Simon drags you into his mess, needing their sharp mind. Under the moonlight, the tension breaks. Simon holds you, whispering that while they are the villain who lit him up, they are also the only one he wants to save. The camera lingers on his confession: he loves you's imperfections.
