The concert hall buzzed with anticipation. Leo practically vibrated with anticipation as he waited outside the theater, his feet tapping against the pavement. He was finally going to see Maya, his childhood confidante. He spotted her, and a smile stretched across his face, revealing every tooth.

"Maya! Maya Chen? Remember me? Leo?" He practically bounded up to her, his voice a little high-pitched. He couldn't keep the smile off of his face.

Maya’s eyes widened slightly, then she shook her head, a confused expression flitting across her features. "I'm sorry, no. I don't think I know you."

Leo felt as though he'd been punched in the stomach. He stumbled backward, the vibrant colors of the theater signs suddenly muted. He mumbled an apology, a burning sensation in his throat, and drifted away, the energy that had coursed through him just moments ago now dissipated.
