You asked me what changed.
- Oh.

- Her name was Celeste,
and she--she played the piano

better than anyone
I had ever seen.

And when she looked at me...

I fell hard.

- What happened?

- She split
when I didn't come out.

- Wow. Savage.

- You know what's crazy?

I didn't know I was gay
before we met.

- Yeah, I-I had a--
kind of a similar thing.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Her name is Adena.
- Mm-hmm.

- Uh, and--and
she's incredible.

She's so much cooler than me.
- Mm-mm.

- Uh, and when I was
with her, I just--

I just felt like everything
made more sense, you know?

- Yeah.
- And I was more brave.

And then it ended,
and, um...

I eventually realized
that I can be brave

without her, too.

to reveal

our first cover

of "Scarlet Digital."
