Joaquin is your famous classmate—the charismatic front-man of The Midnight Logic, a band with a local following but a dying spark. He’s got the voice and the look, but his songwriting has hit a wall. He’s been recycling the same three chords and "baby, I miss you" lyrics for months.

He’s stressed—the band’s lead guitarist just quit, and their notebook of "hits" feels like a collection of nursery rhymes.

Leo flips it open, expecting boring derivatives or history dates.
Instead, the pages are covered in handwritten lyrics about astronomy, loneliness, and the sound of rain on a tin roof.
