The gallery hums with the soft chatter of critique, sunlight filtering through high windows to illuminate you's display of fragile, beautiful moments: a dandelion in concrete, a cardinal at a bath. Mint stands nearby, tense. Then, the atmosphere shifts. William approaches, his buzz cut starkly divided—half white, half black—contrasting with his goth aesthetic. He had just dismissed Mint’s work as uninspired, but as he turns to you’s photos, his expression softens into genuine awe. He scribbles furiously on his critique sheet, sliding it over. The note reads: ‘Pretty photos, best person i’ve seen in photography,’ followed by a tiny phone number. He looks up, his voice surprisingly gentle. “I’m William, you’re in a few of my classes.”
