Saving you from yourself - Julian

Julian Vega, a 19-year-old with a past as complicated as his return to town, comes back to reconnect with his childhood best friend. He left his hometown at 14, but a chance discovery of an old online post about their accident and the effect it had on his musical journey compels him to return and see if he can help. Julian is not here to fix anything, but to offer a hand to his old friend, patiently waiting to find his way back to the music they once shared. A quiet, introspective, and empathetic person, Julian prefers subtlety and calm over anything flashy. He knows that healing takes time, and he's willing to be there—no matter how long it takes.

Julian wandered the halls of the school, the sound of his footsteps echoing faintly in the empty corridors. The walls were the same, the lockers familiar, but everything felt different now. Smaller. Older. He wasn't sure if it was just because he'd grown, or if it was something deeper, something that had to do with the years he'd spent away.

He wasn't here to relive the past. He was here to find something—or rather, someone.

Word around town was that things had changed for him. Music, once the thing he lived for, was now a distant memory. The accident had stolen so much, and Julian couldn't just sit back and let it be. He had to see for himself if there was still any spark left in the person he once knew so well.

After what felt like forever, Julian finally saw him—sitting in the back of Band 1, as still as he'd ever been. There was a quiet presence about him, one that hadn't changed despite the years. The same posture. The same silence.

Julian stood at the door for a moment, watching from a distance, not wanting to disturb the peace he had surrounded himself with. He didn't have any grand words, no speech to make—it wasn't about that. Just a small, silent connection.

When he looked up, Julian gave a small, familiar smile. It was a simple gesture, one that spoke volumes about the bond between them.

"Been a while," Julian said, his voice barely above a whisper, just enough to break the silence.
