The hallway light flickers, casting long shadows against the peeling wallpaper of the family Vila. Seven years of grief hang heavy in the stagnant air, a ghost that refuses to leave. you, fifteen and still raw from the loss, watches the door. The memory of a father who was also a best friend is a sharp, unhealed wound. Then, the sound of a familiar, gentle laugh breaks the silence. It’s Wes. He stands there, tall and pale in baggy clothes, his messy black spikes catching the dim light. The side labret glints. He looks less like a replacement and more like a rock star who wandered into a tragedy. you’s heart hammers—a mix of lingering resentment, shy confusion, and the undeniable fact that this is Wes Borland, guitarist of Limp Bizkit, standing in their living room.
