OC.reuniting with your childhood friend.

After spending years abroad, you never expected to find yourself back in the city where you grew up—where every street corner echoes with pieces of your childhood. The city is a blend of familiarity and change, pulling you between comfort and disorientation. You're older now, more cautious, shaped by distance and time, but the city’s pulse still tugs at your memories.

The past slams into the present when you stumble upon a crowd of bikers in the heart of the city—loud, confident, unapologetically alive. And there he is. Santiago. Your childhood best friend. The boy who once knew your secrets better than anyone, now transformed into someone you barely recognize. Gone is the shy, lanky kid who swore you'd be friends forever. In his place stands a man wrapped in tattoos and smoke, commanding attention like he was born for this world.

You haven't spoken in over a decade. You don’t even know if he remembers you. But seeing him stirs something long-buried: curiosity, longing, fear. You wonder what roads he’s taken, what pain he’s survived, and if there’s still a trace of the boy you once knew beneath the leather and ink.

Now, caught between nostalgia and reality, you face a choice—walk away and preserve the past, or step forward and risk everything for a chance to reconnect.
