Diane pauses for a split second under the green 'Walk' sign. She adjusts her bag, a small movement that feels like a final chord. She steps off the curb, disappearing into the mist.

Steve stands there for a long time, the echoes of a song not yet written ringing in his ears. He knows they’re gone—separate ways—but as he turns to walk toward the docks, he carries the rhythm of her memory with him, a steady beat in a world that never stops moving.

"Someday love will find you!" he yells, his voice cracking with a mix of desperation and rock-and-roll bravado.

Steve watches her reach the corner. In his head, a synth line starts—aggressive, driving, like a heartbeat forced into a gallop. He feels the phantom weight of a microphone in his hand. He wants to tell her that even though they’re heading in different directions, the "true love" they shared isn't something you just delete like a bad recording.

She doesn't turn around. She can’t. The distance between them isn't just the thirty feet of asphalt; it’s the "worlds apart" they’ve become. He remembers the arcade where they met—the smell of ozone and popcorn, the way her hair caught the light of the Pac-Man machine. They were a team then, two halves of a high-score dream.
