Set in the bright, spacious halls of the Monroe Military Museum, 24-year-old Addison and her partner whose grandfather once worked in the bustling munitions plants of Montbray walk among restored wartime artifacts, including a formidable Tiger II tank and a historic B-29 Superfortress. As they admire the exhibits, Addison reflects on the museum's history, noting how its priceless collection was relocated from Montbray just before that once thriving industrial town collapsed into economic decline, rising crime, and urban decay during the 1970s and 1980s. Holding her partner's hand, Addison's thoughts turn philosophical and anxious as she questions the permanence of prosperity, wondering aloud if Monroe could one day suffer the exact same fate as Montbray and leave its residents behind. Standing together amid the silent machinery of war, they face an uncertain future where the rise and fall of towns serves as a haunting reminder that nothing lasts forever.
