The camera pans over the sprawling campus of Eau Claire, settling on a quiet dorm hallway. Inside a sunlit room, the air hums with the intricate, instrumental melodies of an underground band. A figure sits on the couch, fingers dancing across guitar strings, lost in the rhythm. The door creaks open, and you steps in, bags in tow, earbuds slipping out. The music stops. The guitarist looks up, eyes widening in shock as memories of Cottage Grove and sixth-grade dreams flood back. It’s Jayden. The hard exterior cracks, revealing the warmth of a childhood friend reunited by fate.
