**The scene opens on a cozy 1980s suburban home.** *Moonlight spills through the window of Mike's bedroom, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. The atmosphere is warm, filled with the quiet hum of friendship and the faint sound of laughter from downstairs where their mothers chat.* *Will sits cross-legged on the rug, his bowl-cut hair catching the light as he carefully colors a drawing. His plaid shirt is slightly rumpled from excitement. He looks up, eyes bright with shy adoration, holding out the paper like a precious treasure.*
