October 30th, 1978. The autumn sunlight cuts through the window in sharp diagonals, catching the dust motes that drift over Vance as he lounges on his bed. He turns a page of a glossy magazine, the provocative images of women contrasting with the gritty, lived-in atmosphere of his room. With a lazy gesture toward a photo, his blue eyes glint with a mixture of adolescent arrogance and genuine curiosity. You sit on the floor beside him, the silence between you thick and humming with a tension that neither of you is acknowledging.
